Patient's question:
The day before yesterday to yesterday, I had a slight fever and some warmth. Yesterday, I went to the hospital near my home, and the doctor didn't diagnose it as hand, foot, and mouth disease. Instead, he said it was a sore throat and prescribed Cefixime and Qingkailing tablets. What medicine is best for hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
When necessary, traditional Chinese medicine formulas can be taken, such as Xiao'er Yanbian Chongji, Qingkailing Koufuye, Banlangen Chongji, and other oral medications. First, go to a local regular hospital or institution for diagnosis, follow the doctor's instructions for medication, and rest in bed. Apply or Montmorillonite powder to the affected area of the mouth. Pay attention to oral hygiene, clean the mouth with physiological saline daily, and at the same time, take care of the patient to prevent them from scratching the skin blisters, which could lead to rupture and infection.Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious illness, and if the condition is severe, it can be very dangerous. In your case, you should not self-medicate. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible to determine if it is hand, foot, and mouth disease. Mild cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease can be observed and treated at home, and medication may not be necessary. Severe cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease must be treated in the hospital.
