Question
My child has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, and the doctor has prescribed medication, saying it should be fine in a week as long as the child doesn’t have a fever. Now, after two days, will the child have a fever? How does fever occur? The child was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease yesterday after checking in. What should I do?
Answer
It’s best to give your child the medication on time. According to guidelines, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection that may cause fever. If the child’s body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, appropriate fever-reducing treatment should be administered. Additionally, pay attention to eating less spicy and stimulating food and more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins; this helps boost immunity.
