Question
A three-month-old child has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease and is experiencing recurring fever above 39°C. However, the child’s mental state and appetite are normal. How should one treat the recurring fever caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by a viral infection, characterized by rashes on the palms, soles, and mouth, with some patients experiencing fever symptoms. For children with recurring fever, it is recommended to undergo a blood routine examination to rule out the possibility of viral complications with bacterial infections. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on a child’s health. Once related symptoms are detected, it is essential to take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, in daily life, attention should be paid to the child’s balanced nutrition and comprehensive care to promote recovery.
