Patient's question:
Day three, I have small red spots on my mouth, hands, and feet. Starting today, I am taking Ribavirin and applying Vitamin B12.Doctor's answer:
The best treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease is the use of traditional Chinese medicine. Generally, it involves a combination of oral medication and topical application to the mouth. Patients without complications can be cured within about a week, with a good prognosis. Antiviral drugs can also be used for treatment.Children should be encouraged to rinse their mouths with warm water at regular intervals. Avoid cold, spicy, or irritating foods, as well as salty foods, to prevent pain and refusal to eat. A diet should be easy to digest, consisting of light, soft, and warm meals, along with plenty of warm water.
Preventive Measures
The main preventive measure is to isolate the sick child and strengthen hygiene and healthcare for infants and young children to reduce the risk of infection. At the same time, ensure good air circulation and a comfortable temperature in the living environment.
