Question
Could my baby’s fever be hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
A baby’s fever can be caused by various reasons, including bacterial, viral, or other pathogen infections. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an acute infectious disease caused by a virus, usually accompanied by symptoms such as fever and oral ulcers. While injections and medication may not immediately alleviate symptoms, they can often be resolved through intravenous treatment. However, Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can have a significant impact on infants. It is recommended that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for a follow-up examination and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During daily care, attention should be paid to the child’s diet, and enough care and attention should be given to ensure a quick recovery.
