Question
After playing with a child who has hand, foot, and mouth disease, the child develops a fever. Ask for methods to cool down the fever.
Answer
If a child has a fever, it is recommended to first measure their body temperature. If it is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use ibuprofen to reduce the fever. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider a warm bath. At the same time, perform routine blood tests and CRP tests, and you can give anti-viral oral liquids and Pudelin oral liquid. If you suspect hand, foot, and mouth disease, take the child to a specialist clinic as soon as possible for professional treatment. Pay attention to the child’s diet and health status in daily life, hoping the child can recover quickly.
