Hand, foot, and mouth disease: Is the medication appropriate?

Patient's question:

At the onset of the illness, there were blisters on the palms and soles of the feet, but no fever symptoms. (Zhengzhou Children's Hospital)

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be caused by a viral infection. There is no specific treatment available, and the main approach is systemic supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used as a treatment. Herbal medicine may have some efficacy in alleviating symptoms of certain viral diseases and shortening the course of the illness.
