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

Patient's question:

Mouth, hands, and feet have blisters that itch badly.

Doctor's answer:

Available formula: Qingwen Baidu Yin; for complications such as high fever that does not subside, frequent coughing, and shortness of breath, the formula Ji Jiao Li Huang Wan combined with Can Fu Tang can be used. During the recovery phase of the illness, for children with dry mouth and sore throat, add Shān Shēn, Mài Dōng, Shēng Dì Huáng, and Lú Gēn to the formula Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang to nourish yin and generate fluids, clear heat, and moisten the throat. If the child develops oral herpes, any one of Xigua Shuang, Bing Bong San, or Xi Lie San can be applied to the affected area of the mouth; for severe hand and foot herpes, any one of Ruyi Jin Huang San or Qing Dai San can be mixed with sesame oil and applied to the affected areas.
