Question
The patient has hand tremors, persistent low-grade fever, and blisters and has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Do you need to inject immunoglobulin in this situation?
Answer
Dear parents, if your child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease and has symptoms of low-grade fever, first pay attention to the child’s body temperature. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, immediately administer ibuprofen suspension to reduce fever; if the temperature does not reach this standard, focus on physical cooling methods such as drinking plain water, using fever-reducing patches, or wiping the body with warm water. As for immunoglobulin, since it is a blood product, it is recommended to avoid using it casually. When treating hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents should give their children adequate care and attention and seek professional medical assistance as soon as possible to avoid self-medicating to relieve symptoms.
