Question
An 8-month-old baby suddenly developed a high fever the night before yesterday. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the baby saw a doctor the next day. The doctor diagnosed it as inflammation and prescribed Pudendal Granules, Chaihu Granules, Lung Clearing Medicine, and Ceftriaxone. The baby had a fever again last night, but the fever subsided this morning. However, blisters were found in the mouth. After examination, the doctor ruled out Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, but blisters appeared on the buttocks and feet during a bath last night.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s symptoms may be consistent with those of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by viral infection. It is recommended to bring the child to the hospital for a follow-up visit immediately for professional antiviral treatment. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can have a significant impact on children. If similar symptoms are found, medical attention should be sought immediately, and attention should be paid to the baby’s diet and nutritional intake to aid recovery.
