Help Needed: Want to know how to treat and recover.
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 should be treated with antiviral medications such as ganciclovir.Babies may refuse to eat, drool, and cry due to oral pain. It is important to keep the baby's mouth clean. 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, and it is necessary to combine antibiotics such as Cefixime for anti-inflammatory treatment. It is also important to pay attention to nebulization treatment and use Fei Li Ke for treatment.
