Patient's question:
My child got a mouth disease on October 20th. It was discovered that it affected the mouth and feet. Tonight, on November 13th, I noticed a few small blisters in the mouth and some on the hands as well. I want to know if it being recurrent is more serious, or if it will be worse than the last time. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a complete blood count test. The test results will show whether there is more viral infection and whether there is bacterial infection. The medication you provided is effective against both viral and bacterial infections. Pay attention to diet and personal hygiene. At the same time, your child should wash hands frequently and take the medication for a week. Then, have another complete blood count test. If all the indexes are normal, it is okay. Western medicine treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease is antiviral treatment and symptomatic treatment, while Chinese medicine treatment is better.
