Patient's question:
The child of the patient, who is nine and a half months old, has been sick for two days and has been getting injections at the hospital for two days. They are not feverish, but have blisters in their throat and mouth, as well as a rash all over their body. The rash is more prominent on the lower body, particularly the buttocks, and less on the upper body, with some accompanied by fluid-filled blisters.Doctor's answer:
Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease usually have their body temperature return to normal within 2 to 3 days. The rashes on the hands and feet often absorb within 2 to 3 days without leaving scabs. The blisters and ulcers in the mouth can last for about a week. Antiviral medications are typically effective, such as traditional Chinese medicines: Daqingye Oral Liquid, Antiviral Oral Liquid, and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid; Western medicines: Ribavirin tablets or oral liquid, both of which can have good efficacy.
