2-year-8-month-old child, several small red blisters appeared on the back of the hands and feet.

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be caused by a viral infection, and there is no specific treatment available. The main approach is still general supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Antibiotics or sulfonamides are ineffective. Some antiviral drugs, such as idoxuridine, acyclovir, and ganciclovir, may have some efficacy against herpesvirus infections. Interferon is a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that inhibits both DNA and RNA viruses. Triazavirin may have an inhibitory effect on certain viruses, such as the virus causing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Amantadine can prevent influenza. Traditional Chinese medicine may have some efficacy in alleviating symptoms of certain viral diseases and shortening the course of the illness.
