Patient's question:
Saliva, crying, unwilling to eat for the past 4 days, red beans on the mouth. Past treatment and effectiveness: took ribavirin, vitamin C. Is there any medicine to treat saliva? What medicine can treat the red beans in the mouth?Doctor's answer:
The red beans in the mouth can be externally applied with erythromycin cream. Drooling is caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease, and it will be resolved by actively treating the primary disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious illness caused by enteroviruses, which can lead to blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. In a few cases, it may cause complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, and aseptic meningitis.Medical Advice: The illness typically starts acutely with fever; scattered blisters of rice grain size appear on the oral mucosa, causing significant pain; similar-sized blisters may also appear on the palms or soles, with the buttocks or knees occasionally affected. If there are no complications, most children with hand, foot, and mouth disease can recover within a week. The main treatment principle is symptomatic management, and vitamin B and C supplements, as well as antiviral medications, should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
