Patient's question:
On June 5th, I started having a fever of 39.1°C. The local clinic said it was tonsillitis and I received an IV drip. That night, my temperature rose to 39°C again. On June 6th, the IV drip temperature dropped to 39°C, and my tonsils grew white small particles. Today, my hands and feet, as well as my mouth, developed red small particles that are itchy. The county hospital diagnosed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease.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. Typically, antiviral medications can be effective, such as traditional Chinese medicine: Daqingye oral liquid, Antiviral oral liquid, and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid; Western medicine: Ribavirin tablets or oral liquid, both of which can have good efficacy.
