Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a fever and took medicine to bring it down. At that time, there were red spots on my palms. I also had mouth ulcers and took medicine for them. The next day, I also had red spots on my feet. Is it mild or serious? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. Clinical manifestations include rash, fever, oral ulcers, and loss of appetite. Generally, it is recommended to use heat-clearing and detoxifying medications such as Reshi Ning and Tanre Lü. Antiviral drugs can also be used. If there is a bacterial infection, antibiotics can be administered. Additionally, some traditional Chinese medicine formulations can be taken orally to clear heat and detoxify. It is advisable to consult a doctor in detail to determine the appropriate medications for treatment.
