Question
Some of the rashes from hand, foot, and mouth disease have subsided, but my baby is still having a recurring fever. What could be the reason?
Answer
Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease may still have a fever after the rash has cleared up, which could be due to incomplete clearance of the infection, immune system response, or other complications. It is recommended to take appropriate measures to reduce fever and seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause. Avoid self-medication before an accurate diagnosis, especially medication not prescribed by a doctor. Parents should closely monitor their child’s symptoms and assist in timely treatment.
