Patient's question:
Three days ago, there were blisters on the buttocks and limbs, and red spots in the mouth.Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious illness in infants and young children caused by enterovirus infection. Treatment can involve antiviral medications such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir, and traditional Chinese medicine. Additionally, topical antibacterial ointments can be applied to prevent blisters from rupturing and becoming infected. Transfer factor and other supportive medications may also be used to boost the baby's immune resistance. Pay attention to hygiene, practice proper disinfection and care, and take measures to prevent secondary or cross infections.
