They went to the hospital, visited the emergency department, had blood tests, and received intravenous treatment. How should a three-year-old be treated for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your child's condition, it is mainly considered that the symptoms of fever and oral ulcers may be caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to give your child ribavirin granules and Qingkailing granules orally for treatment, drink more water, pay attention to rest, and it generally takes about 7 days to fully recover.
