Patient's question:
The day before yesterday afternoon, I suddenly had a fever, vomiting, and stomach pain. By today, the fever started to subside, and I noticed small blisters on my hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks.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 achieve good efficacy.
