Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How can hand, foot, and mouth disease be considered completely cured?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it 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, generally involving decoctions of herbs that clear heat and detoxify, which may help shorten the duration of the illness.It could also be due to an internal heat condition, so you might consider taking Niuhuang Jiedu Pian (Bezoar Pills).
Avoid spicy and irritating foods in the near future, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Drink plenty of water or tea made with chrysanthemum flowers. You can also apply Guangming Yisao Guang ointment.
