Question
The body temperature of a baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease remains fluctuating between 37.5 to 38 degrees Celsius during treatment, and the child’s spirit is still good. However, there are mild diarrhea and frequent urination. How should this situation be evaluated?
Answer
Dear parents, hello. Your child is undergoing treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease with body temperature fluctuations between 37 to 38 degrees Celsius. This is due to the infection causing an adjustment in the body’s temperature regulation point. It is recommended to continue with antiviral treatment and ensure that your child stays well-hydrated. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection that is self-limiting. With active treatment and adequate rest, your child will recover. I hope my response is helpful to you.
