Patient's question:
A few days ago, my daughter started getting small, blister-like red spots on her hands and feet, and she also had them on her mouth and buttocks. The local doctor said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease and gave her some Guilin Water Frost to spray on her daily. He said it would be okay if she didn't have a fever. Do you think the doctor in our area is right? How many days does hand, foot, and mouth disease usually last?Doctor's answer:
Yes, the child currently has hand, foot, and mouth disease. On the hands and feet, excluding the buttocks, there are small blisters on the mouth as well. A spray can be used, which has the effects of anti-inflammatory, promoting blood circulation, debriding, and promoting muscle regeneration. Alternatively, calamine lotion can be applied, which also has anti-inflammatory and promoting blood circulation effects. Additionally, it is necessary to use antiviral oral liquid in conjunction with antiviral treatment. Generally, it takes about 1 to 2 weeks to fully recover.
