Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated with cephalexin?

Patient's question:

Just on the feet. I have a bit of diarrhea today. Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated with cephalexin?

Doctor's answer:

Because hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection, using cephalosporin, which has the effect of an antibiotic, is not recommended. It is better to use antiviral oral liquid or Huanglian oral liquid, as traditional Chinese medicine has a relatively good effect on antiviral treatment. The above suggestions are for the question "What medicine should be used for hand, foot, and mouth disease," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health! Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be quite harmful to children, so it is recommended that parents take their children to a specialist for follow-up treatment and treat them under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is possible to provide children with enough care and attention, pay close attention to their dietary issues, and hope that they can recover as soon as possible!
