What should I do if I get hand, foot, and mouth disease for the third time?

Patient's question:

2010.12.25-12.29 Past treatment and effectiveness: Gentian root, Vitamin B2. Condition: Several small blisters on hands, mouth ulcers, poor appetite, low-grade fever. Is it better now without fever? Please ask the doctor if the medication can cure it? Is the medication correct?

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a variety of enteroviruses and primarily manifests as blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. If there are no complications, it usually recovers within seven to ten days.
Advice: Since it is caused by a viral infection, medication is not necessary. However, you can take ribavirin granules and five-vitamin oral supplements. At the same time, it's important to drink plenty of water. For oral ulcers, you can use a ribavirin spray on the affected area. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
