Patient's question:
The child only realized today that the blisters on their hands and feet were just a few, and now the blisters have spread to the lower body. This condition isn't that serious.Doctor's answer:
The main principle of hand, foot, and mouth disease treatment is symptomatic therapy. Antiviral drugs, heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese herbal medicines, and vitamins B and C can be taken. Patients with complications may receive intramuscular injection of immunoglobulin. During the illness, it is important to strengthen nursing care for the child and maintain good oral hygiene. Gargling with physiological saline or warm water before and after meals is recommended, and food should be liquid or semi-liquid without irritation.
