Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is mostly considered a viral infection affecting the ears. The symptoms of coughing and fever should be considered possible respiratory infections such as pneumonia. Therefore, the symptoms need to be treated with antiviral medications such as ganciclovir.Babies may refuse to eat, drool, and cry due to oral pain. It is important to maintain oral hygiene for the baby. Use physiological saline to rinse the mouth before and after meals. For babies who cannot rinse their mouths, a cotton swab dipped in physiological saline can be gently used to clean the mouth.
Additionally, if fever occurs, Chai Gui antipyretic oral liquid can be taken. It is also necessary to combine antibiotics such as cefaclor for anti-inflammatory treatment. Furthermore, attention should be paid to (atomization inhalation treatment) and the use of Fei Li Ke for treatment.
