Patient's question:
A three-year-old boy has ulcers in his mouth and blisters on the inside of his lower lip. They are rice-sized, and the liquid inside can be seen transparently from the tip of the blisters! No fever, but he has developed bumps on his body that resemble mosquito bites! Everything else is normal! The bumps are not as mature as usual! Suspected hand, foot, and mouth disease!Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to virtual heat and the upward surge of yin fire. You can use cinnamon to soak and consume it, as it has the effect of guiding fire back to the origin. This method involves adding warming yang ingredients like aconite and cinnamon to nourishing yin herbs, which helps to guide the fire that has ascended upwards back to the mingmen (life gate).There are many causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If your child is confirmed to have it, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their child develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
