Is it reliable for a 2-year-old child with hand, foot, and mouth symptoms to be seen at our rural clinic?

Patient's question:

Today I have a fever of 38 degrees.

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, commonly occurring in children. The most effective treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease is traditional Chinese medicine. Generally, it involves a combination of oral medication and topical oral application. Patients without complications can be cured within about a week, with a good prognosis. Antiviral drugs can also be used.
It is important to have the child rinse their mouth with warm water at regular intervals. Avoid cold or spicy foods that may cause irritation, as well as salty foods, to prevent pain and refusal to eat. The diet should be easy to digest, with light, soft, and warm meals, and plenty of warm water should be consumed.
