Patient's question:

Bubbles and red spots with itching on the mouth and limbs, fever, drooling, coughing

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 for 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 in active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let the child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
