Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what topical medication is needed for the blisters on the hands and feet caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is necessary to take antiviral medication promptly. It is recommended to receive intravenous infusion or oral Ribavirin, Qingkailing, or Banlangen treatment. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. Otherwise, use physical cooling methods, drink more water, and isolate the child to prevent cross-infection.There are many causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If the child is confirmed to have the disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating or cold foods.
