How to Treat Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Patient's question:

3 days ago in the afternoon, I had a fever of 39 degrees and took Meilin, got an injection to bring it down, but the next morning, red spots appeared on my neck, mouth, hands, and feet.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious infectious disease in infants and young children caused by enterovirus infection. In treatment, antiviral drugs such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used. Additionally, topical antibacterial ointments should be applied to prevent blister rupture and infection. Furthermore, transfer factor and other drugs can be appropriately used to enhance the baby's immunity. Pay attention to hygiene, perform proper disinfection and care, and prevent secondary or cross infections.
