Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, my son had a fever of 38.6°C. I quickly used a flashlight to carefully examine his mouth and found blisters on the roof of his mouth. Today, a very small amount of blisters have appeared on his soles again. The day before yesterday, he had a fever, and he started taking antiviral medication, including Ribavirin and Dibutyl Granules. After the fever subsided, the blisters in his mouth made it difficult for him to eat properly, and blisters have also reappeared on his soles.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Children can benefit from simple isolation, ensuring good indoor ventilation, and using antiviral medications for effective results, such as antiviral particles, ribavirin, and radix isatidis. A nutritious diet with appropriate protein supplementation can help boost the body's resistance. For herpes on the soles, calamine lotion can be applied externally. Alternatively, acyclovir ointment can also be used. For oral care, hydrogen peroxide or saltwater rinses can be effective. A liquid diet can help alleviate pain caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease, which has a significant impact on children. It is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is advisable to give the child some fruit juice, which is beneficial for digestion, vitamin absorption, and preventing stomach issues. We hope the child can recover quickly!
