Patient's question:
On the mouth, feet, and hands, there are blisters. No fever. Allergic to the drug Ganoderma lucidum, cannot continue with the IV drip. Without the IV drip, will the condition worsen by just taking oral medication? Need a doctor's advice, thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your baby has hand-foot-mouth disease, which is a viral infection and contagious. Currently, they are being treated with traditional Chinese medicine Ganoderma lucidum, but they have had an allergic reaction, so it should be stopped. If the child is generally doing well, there is no need for intravenous fluids; oral antiviral medication can be used instead. Additionally, enhance care, isolate at home, drink plenty of fluids, get adequate rest, pay attention to temperature changes and nutrition, ensure the indoor air is well-ventilated, and prohibit secondhand smoke. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
