How to properly handle hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, I had a high fever. Yesterday, I noticed red spots on my child's hands and feet. I took my child to a local clinic for a check-up. The doctor said there were no broken lips and it was nothing. I wasn't reassured, so I took my child to Jilin First Hospital. The doctor said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease, which was nothing serious. Just go home and take Ribavirin.

Doctor's answer:

Recurrent oral ulcers are caused by deficiencies in trace elements and vitamin B. It is recommended to take oral zinc gluconate and vitamin B2. For external use, apply vitamin C tablets and watermelon frost spray or oral ulcer powder. Pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene, frequently rinse your mouth with mild salt water. Maintain a regular daily routine and ensure adequate sleep; eat a light diet, avoid spicy and heavy, irritating foods.
