Patient's question:

What is the use of taking Cephalexin for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection, which leads to the appearance of rashes on the palms, buttocks, and soles of the feet. It generally does not cause pain or discomfort. This is a viral infection, and Cefprozil is not very effective. Antiviral medications such as acyclovir for oral and topical use can be used. Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid touching others, as it is highly contagious. Drink more water, avoid going out for exercise, and get adequate rest.
