Question
An 11-month-old girl developed a fever on May 28th and was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease after examination. She only had small blisters on her throat, with no other abnormalities on her body. After three days of intravenous injection treatment, her condition improved significantly. However, the girl now has symptoms of cough and nasal congestion and is currently being treated with Kaihou Jian spray.
Answer
After the treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease, the patient developed cough and nasal congestion, which may be related to concurrent tracheal infection. First, the body temperature should be measured to observe for any fever symptoms. For treatment, it is recommended to give the child oral medications such as Erythromycin Estolate granules and Children’s Qing Fei Huatan granules. If the cough is severe and accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for a diagnosis.
