Question
A child developed a fever of 38.8 degrees on the 30th and had the fever subsided by the 3rd. On the 4th, the child went to the hospital for a urine test and was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. The child is no longer feverish and in good spirits. Does a child’s good condition with hand, foot, and mouth disease indicate that the illness is not severe?
Answer
If the child is currently in normal spirits, it suggests that their hand, foot, and mouth disease is mild. It is recommended to give the child oral medication and to avoid contact with other children to prevent the spread of infection. Consider giving the child an oral liquid to combat infection. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on a child’s health, so it is advisable for family members to take the child to a specialized hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. In daily life, provide the child with ample care and attention, especially focusing on their dietary health, hoping that they will recover soon.
