Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated with mugwort baths?

Patient's question:

My third brother's child got hand, foot, and mouth disease in kindergarten. Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated with mugwort bath?

Doctor's answer:

A child reappears with hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is relatively easy to experience recurring fever and repeated runny nose and nasal congestion. At this time, it is important to promptly visit the hospital for follow-up treatment. Generally, hand, foot, and mouth disease is believed to be caused by a viral infection. If hand, foot, and mouth disease reappears, isolation treatment is required. It is best not to decide on folk remedies for treatment. If the treatment is not appropriate, it is easy to cause the child's condition to worsen, endangering the child's life and health.
