Red spots on the upper palate, cold sores on the inside of the lips, red spots on the hands. I have taken some medication, but the condition has not improved. I want to know how to treat it and how many days it will take to recover.

Doctor's answer:

To prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease, personal hygiene must be paid attention to, oral hygiene should be maintained, and secondary bacterial infections should be prevented. Rinse your mouth with warm water after each meal. Attention should be paid to indoor air circulation and appropriate temperature. Drink plenty of boiled water or cold drinks, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Children's toys or other items should be thoroughly cleaned frequently. When hand, foot, and mouth disease is prevalent, parents should try their best to keep their children away from crowded public places to reduce the chance of infection. Additionally, parents should pay attention to the nutrition and rest of infants, avoid sun exposure, prevent excessive fatigue, and reduce resistance.
