Question
Diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease on the 13th, the child still had a fever above 38 degrees after two days of intravenous fluid treatment. The child’s spirit and appetite were poor, accompanied by dry heaves and diarrhea. Inquire about the cause of the recurring fever and the treatment method.
Answer
It is recommended to be hospitalized and use a sufficient amount of antiviral medication such as ribavirin, HEPATRIN, and Yanhuning for treatment, and you can use ibuprofen suspension to lower the temperature. If the medication is not effective in lowering the temperature, consider physical cooling methods. For diarrhea symptoms, use medications such as Montmorillonite powder and pepsin mixture for symptomatic treatment. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children, so it is advisable for parents to bring their child to a specialist for a follow-up examination and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, give the child juice to drink to supplement digestive vitamins and prevent diarrhea, hoping for the child’s early recovery.
