2-year-old child with hand, foot, and mouth disease

Patient's question:

Two or three days, obvious symptoms on hands, feet, and mouth 36.7 to 37 degrees, Xi'an Children's Hospital

Doctor's answer:

For children with dry mouth and sore throat, add Sheng Di Huang (Fresh Rehmannia Root) and Lu Gen (Coix Seed) to the Sha Shen Mai Dong (Sand Root Ophiopogon and Chinese Asparagus Root) formula to nourish yin, generate fluids, clear heat, and moisten the throat. If the child develops oral herpes, any one of Xigua Shuang (Watermelon Frost), Bing Bang San (Ice Boron Powder), or Xi Li San (Tin Class Powder) can be applied to the affected area of the mouth. For severe hand and foot herpes, any one of Ru Yi Jin Huang San (Wishful Golden Yellow Powder) or Qing Dai San (Indigo Powder) can be mixed with sesame oil and applied to the affected areas.
