What medicine is used for hand, foot and mouth disease in children


Dedicated to your healing journey.
Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enterovirus infection. The main pathogens of infection are enterovirus 71 and coxsackie virus a16. Because it is caused by virus infection, there is no specific antiviral drug at this stage, mainly symptomatic treatment. For ordinary hand-foot-and-mouth disease, drink more warm water, rest more, pay attention to isolation, and prevent cross infection. You can take oral anti-heat oral liquid, Lanqin oral liquid and other antipyretic and detoxifying drugs or Kangfuxin liquid to promote the repair of oral herpes, or interferon atomization. For skin rash, if accompanied by itching, you can use calamine lotion externally, and at the same time, you can use interferon gel to inhibit virus replication, so shorten the course of disease.
