What questions are there about hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: One and a half years old. Started a few days ago with poor appetite, but in good spirits. The first few days, sleep was very good, but the past two days have been a bit noisy and very irritable. The first few days, the stool was slightly sticky and not watery, but the past two days, the stool has been very good. No fever, no runny nose, no small water blisters on the feet or body.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is no highly effective treatment for this disease, but the following measures can be taken to alleviate it:
1. Take antiviral medications, such as virazole and viramidine.
2. Maintain local cleanliness to prevent secondary bacterial infections.
3. Due to the erosion in the mouth, if children have difficulty eating, they can be given easily digestible liquid food and should rinse their mouths after meals.
4. Topical application of tetracycline fish liver oil can help reduce pain and promote the early healing of the eroded areas.
