Question
My child has been running a fever for two days now, and they have mouth sores. Could it be Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Answer
Your child’s condition may be caused by a viral infection, and there is currently no specific effective treatment. The main approach is to provide general supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used, as Chinese herbs may help alleviate some symptoms of viral diseases and shorten the course of the illness.
