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. How long does hand, foot, and mouth disease take to heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby gets hand, foot, and mouth disease, you can use antiviral medications such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir, and traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Apply topical antibacterial ointment to prevent blisters from rupturing and becoming infected. Additionally, you can appropriately use drugs like transfer factor to boost your baby's immunity.Pay attention to hygiene and practice proper disinfection and care to prevent secondary or cross infections. You may also apply calamine lotion or zinc oxide ointment. Short-term use of hydrocortisone cream or betamethasone ointment externally may also be effective.
Oral medications include diphenhydramine, doxylamine, and cyproheptadine. Traditional Chinese medicine can also be effective for treating eczema, and you may choose to wash with a decoction of purple grass externally.
