What should I do if my child gets hand, foot, and mouth disease? What causes it?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a rash-producing infectious disease, primarily caused by Coxsackie virus. It is necessary to seek medical treatment at a hospital, take medication as prescribed by the doctor, and rest in bed. If necessary, traditional Chinese medicine oral preparations such as Xiao'er Yanbian Chongji, Qingkailin oral liquid, and Banlangen Chongji can be taken.
