Hand foot mouth disease
Hello doctor,
My son 2.5 year old got Hand foot mouth disease . Our doctor suggested to apply calamine lotion and give paracetamol for fever and bodyache. But now after 4 days,he got cold, runny nose and nasal congestion during night. Can I give ascoril syrup for cold. Will it affect hfmd? And also can I use nasal saline drops?
I read online and it said not to give aspirin.
As the climate is worse I cannot take him to hospital now and your suggestion would be very helpful.
.
Thank you in advance!
