Patient's question:
Fever, cough, spring season, took Pu Dilan, don't know if it's effective, please ask if Pu Dilan can treat hand, foot, and mouth diseaseDoctor's answer:
The child has hand, foot, and mouth disease and is also coughing and feverish. Taking Pu Dilan alone is not enough; it has a therapeutic effect, but since the child is coughing and feverish, it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory and lung-cleansing medications. With active treatment, it is highly unlikely that any sequelae will be left behind. Drink plenty of water and give the child soft, easily digestible food. Do not pick at the blisters to prevent secondary infections. Generally, it will improve within a week or so. The child is threatened by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the symptoms from being alleviated with blind medication. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
