Patient's question:
Hello, my child has a mild hand, foot, and mouth disease and is not eating. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, as you mentioned, the general Western medical treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease involves antiviral therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine and herbal treatments are better. Generally, you can take some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbal preparations, such as Lanqin Koufu (Blue Flag Oral Liquid) and Erding Granules, which are both quite good.There are many causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have the condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, follow gastrointestinal decompression measures, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
