Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Also, is there any effective way to treat blisters on the hands and feet and a sore tongue in a three-year-old child?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 Baaidu Yin" formula can be used. For complications such as unrelenting high fever and frequent coughing with shortness of breath, the "Jizhao Lianhuang Wan combined with Shenfu Tang" formula can be used.During the recovery phase of the illness, for children with dry mouth and sore throat, add Shashen and Maidong to the formula, along with Shengdihuang and Lugen to nourish yin, generate fluids, clear heat, and moisten the throat. If blisters appear in the child's mouth, any one of the following can be applied to the affected area: Xigua Shuang, Bingpeng San, or Xili San. For severe blisters on the hands and feet, any one of the following can be used with sesame oil: Ruyijinhuang San or Qingdai San, applied to the affected areas.
