Patient's question:
My child is 8 years old and generally healthy. At school, he contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, which keeps recurring. I mainly want to consult about what to do when a child's hand, foot, and mouth disease keeps recurring. Is there a better treatment method? Please advise.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease recurs repeatedly. Generally, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination to confirm whether there is frequent contact with patients. At the same time, the possibility of a weakened immune system cannot be ruled out. Timely antiviral medication is required. After the disease is fully recovered, reducing the immune system is the most important method to prevent recurrence. Thymosin tablets can be taken orally. Traditional Chinese medicine such as Yu Ping Feng Granules or Zhen Qi Fu Zheng Granules can also be used.
