Patient's question:
Gums are swollen, mouth ulcers, the center of the ulcers is white, no pimples found on the body, cough, poor appetite, crying. The onset time and cause of the illness, so far three days. Treatment and effectiveness so far, oral azithromycin, vitamin C, ribavirin. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease? How to confirm if it is hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Ignoring hand, foot, and mouth disease, this is a viral infection-induced condition. While actively using anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications, it is recommended to use Yinhuang Granules for the child and apply (watermelon frost) externally to the local ulcers. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. Once parents notice their child's symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. Additionally, parents should pay close attention to their child's diet, suggesting a balanced diet and avoiding cold foods. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
