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. Please, does hand, foot, and mouth disease lead to encephalitis complications?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by a viral infection, and there is no specific treatment available. 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. In the early stages, symptoms may only include dry mouth and fatigue, and antiviral drugs can be used for symptomatic treatment. Drinking more water is beneficial for symptom improvement.
