Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Is there a vaccine for hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be caused by a viral infection. There is no specific treatment, and the main approach is supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used, as herbal remedies may have some efficacy in alleviating symptoms of viral diseases and shortening the duration of the illness. There are multiple causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
