What should be avoided when suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

For acute-phase symptoms such as low-grade fever or no fever, runny nose, cough, sore throat, or poor appetite and nausea, the "Yinqiao Powder" formula can be used; for persistent high fever, dense distribution of blisters on the mouth, hands, feet, buttocks, and limbs, the "Qingwen Baidu Yin" formula can be used; for complications such as unrelenting high fever and frequent coughing with shortness of breath, the "Jizhao Lian Huang Wan combined with Shenfu Tang" formula can be used.
During the recovery phase of the illness, for children with dry mouth and sore throat, add Shashen and Maidong to the formula, along with Shengdihuang and Lugen to nourish yin and generate fluids, clear heat, and moisten the throat. If blisters appear in the child's mouth, any one of the following can be applied to the affected area: Xigua Shuang, Bingpeng San, or Xili San. For severe blisters on the hands and feet, any one of the following can be used with sesame oil: Ruyijinhuang San or Qingdai San, applied to the affected areas.
