Question

How to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in children?

Answer

  1. Antiviral Medication: For hand, foot, and mouth disease in children, a contagious disease caused by enteroviruses, antiviral treatment can be initiated. Using antiviral medications containing vitamins B and C can be highly effective.
  2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Detoxification and Oral Disinfection: Since the disease may enter through the mouth, in addition to taking detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine, rinsing the mouth with warm water before and after meals can help prevent bacteria from re-entering and is beneficial for treating hand, foot, and mouth disease.
  3. Rectal Administration: Use one vial of Hailixin plus 0.1g of Ribavirin, 3mg of Pseudoephedrine, and one vial of Aminophen daily for two doses rectally. Additionally, take an antiviral oral liquid three times a day, with one vial each time. After two days of fever reduction, discontinue Aminophen and continue with the oral liquid for three more days to heal.
