Question
If my child has hand, foot, and mouth disease and the fever doesn’t go down, even after receiving buttocks injections and medication, what should I do?
Answer
If the baby has a persistent fever and is not feeling well, immediate intravenous treatment should be sought. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is preventable and treatable; however, if the baby repeatedly has a fever, it is important to further investigate the cause to see if other injuries have been incurred and to administer medication promptly. If the fever persists, intravenous treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to the child. Once the mother notices her child’s symptoms, she should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay more attention to the child’s care issues, suggest appropriate diet, eat less spicy and irritating food, and hope that the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
