Patient's question:
Tonight, my daughter's feet developed red spots again. After visiting the hospital, she was diagnosed with mild (initial) hand, foot, and mouth disease.Treatment history and effectiveness: My daughter is very itchy, and we are helpless.
What kind of help is needed: Hello, do you have any topical medications or other effective treatment medications?
Doctor's answer:
Seeing your description of the problem, I can tell you that hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. First and foremost, it is important to always keep the child's clothes and bedding clean and trim their nails to prevent scratching the rash. For unbroken blisters, you can apply calamine lotion or a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution. For blisters that have burst and are causing secondary infections, you can use an antibiotic ointment, such as fusidic acid or Bactroban, for example.
