Question
What are the quick treatment methods for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease generally return to normal body temperature within 2 to 3 days. The skin rashes on the hands and feet usually fade within 2 to 3 days without leaving scabs; the sores and ulcers in the mouth can last for about a week. Antiviral medications can usually be prescribed, such as traditional Chinese medicine like Da Qing Ye Oral Liquid, Antiviral Oral Liquid, and Shuang Huang Lian Oral Liquid; Western medicine like Ribavirin Tablets or Oral Solution can also be effective.
