Patient's question:
The baby, who is ten and a half months old, contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. Drinking the antiviral oral liquid has not shown any improvement. After a thorough examination, the doctor said the child's immunity is too weak and needs to take some other medications. I am worried about the side effects of the medication, which may affect the child's physical and developmental growth. I would like to know if there are any non-medication methods available?Doctor's answer:
A ten-month-old child has very poor immunity. If they don't take medication, it's very difficult to cure hand, foot, and mouth disease. Therefore, it is still recommended to give the child oral medication for antiviral treatment. Herbal formulas can be used to clear heat and detoxify. A commonly used herbal formula for clinical diagnosis to treat children with hand, foot, and mouth disease who have a fever is Yinqiao Powder. Yinqiao Powder can effectively dispel wind-heat and clear heat and detoxify. In daily life, it's important to maintain a good mood. A positive attitude is very helpful for recovery from illness.
