Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is three years old and has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. It has been four days now. Currently, he has a few blisters in his mouth but it hasn’t interfered with his dinner. He also has blisters on his hands and a few on his feet. The first two days, he had a high fever, but the last two days, he hasn’t had a fever. He has been given three days of Xiyinping injections. Now, he is taking Qingkailing dispersible tablets, Cefixime, and besides Xia'erfen Huangna Ming Granules, are these medications okay?Hand, foot, and mouth disease requires anti-inflammatory medication?
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Before the diagnosis, he was given three days of Xiyinping injections while also taking Qingkailing dispersible tablets, Cefixime, and Xia'erfen Huangna Ming Granules.
What kind of help do you need: Now that the three Xiyinping injections are finished, do you still need to give more? Currently, he is only taking Qingkailing dispersible tablets, Cefixime, and besides Xia'erfen Huangna Ming Granules, is this okay?
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a group of viral skin diseases caused by the transmission of Coxackie virus and enterovirus, characterized by the recurrence of blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. It is primarily spread through contaminated industrial clothing, food, and other items via the digestive tract. It can also be transmitted through airborne droplets directly via the respiratory tract, spreading to the patient's throat secretions, vesicular fluid, and feces, where the virus can be detected. Wishing the child a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
