7-year-old boy, how to treat at the initial stage of hand, foot, and mouth disease

Patient's question:

On the evening of July 12, 2014, I had a fever of 38 degrees, ulcers on my tongue, and mild red spots on my hands and feet.

Doctor's answer:

Taking antiviral drugs, such as virazole and viramidine, is recommended. If fever occurs, some heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicines can be used. Hand, foot, and mouth disease may be combined with conditions such as myocarditis, encephalitis, and meningitis. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly, and B vitamins should be taken orally as soon as possible.
