11-month-old baby, hand, foot, and mouth disease, how to treat it well?

Patient's question:

2 days ago, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. There were granular particles on my feet, a small amount of white particles on my lips, and also on my tongue. I had a low fever around 37.7°C. I took fever-reducing medicine and it has been maintained at around 37°C. Today, I also have mild and occasional coughing.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to closely monitor the situation while the child takes some antiviral and heat-clearing Chinese herbal medicines for treatment, such as Antiviral Oral Liquid, Radix Isatidis, and Scutellariae Radix et Rhizoma. Fever reducers like ibuprofen suspension can also be used. If high fever or rashes appear on the hands and feet, it can be diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease, and medical treatment should be sought promptly.
