Patient's question:
The baby accidentally contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease at school, and it's a bit serious. Although the baby is already being treated, they often cry because of the pain. Someone told me that ibuprofen cell repair suspension is very effective for this disease and the treatment is fast. Can children with hand, foot, and mouth disease take it?Doctor's answer:
The hand, foot, and mouth disease commonly referred to is actually a viral infection and is contagious to a certain extent. Ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever and pain, but it does not have an antiviral effect. If a child's temperature is below 38.5°C, it can be taken orally appropriately. If head and body pain reappears, it can also be temporarily decided to take it; otherwise, it is not recommended to take it casually, as it may not work and may instead cause unnecessary side effects.
