Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, fever of 38.7 degrees, already subsided. Blisters appeared on my body.Doctor's answer:
For acute-phase symptoms such as low-grade fever or no fever, runny nose, cough, sore throat, or poor appetite and nausea, the "Yinqiao Powder" formula can be used. If there is persistent high fever, dense distribution of blisters on the mouth, hands, feet, buttocks, and limbs, the "Qingwen Baiedu Yin" formula can be used. For complications such as high fever that does not subside, frequent coughing, and shortness of breath, the "Jizhao Lian Huang Wan combined with Shenfu Tang" formula can be used.During the recovery phase of the illness, for children with dry mouth and sore throat, Shachen Maidong Tang can be modified by adding Shengdihuang (fresh rehmannia root) and Lugen (coptis rhizome) to nourish yin and generate fluids, clear heat, and moisten the throat. If blisters appear in the child's mouth, one of the following can be chosen to apply to the affected area: Xigua Shuang (watermelon frost), Bingpeng San (ice borax powder), or Xili San (tin powder). For severe blisters on the hands and feet, one of the following can be used, mixed with sesame oil and applied to the affected area: Ruyijinhuang San () or Qingdai San (indigo powder).
