Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that 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 I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. How should I handle it if I have hand, foot, and mouth disease with a persistent fever?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by a viral infection, and there is no specific treatment. 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 course of the illness. The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are caused by viral infection, leading to fever and skin rashes on the hands and feet. It is recommended to seek timely symptomatic treatment. Recovery can be achieved within 7 days.
