Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old and has hand, foot, and mouth disease. His mouth is sore. What kind of medicine should be sprayed in the mouth for hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
If hand, foot, and mouth disease reappears, it is likely caused by a recurrence of viral infection. In such cases, interferon spray can be used, or other antiviral medications can be administered. If oral ulcers and pain reappear, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be used in conjunction with medications to promote ulcer healing.Recurrent hand, foot, and mouth disease requires preventing repeated episodes of high fever, which could lead to meningitis.
