Hello, my baby is 22 months old and has now contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Patient's question:

June 19th Hands and feet have red dots

Doctor's answer:

The treatment is primarily symptomatic. Antiviral drugs, heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese herbal medicines, and vitamins B and C can be taken. If there are complications, intramuscular injection of immunoglobulin can be administered. During the illness, the child's care should be strengthened, and oral hygiene should be maintained. Gargling with physiological saline or warm water before and after meals is recommended. Food should consist of non-irritating fluids and semi-liquids.
