Question
My baby has had hand, foot, and mouth disease for three days, and started having a fever at midnight today, with a temperature of around 38 degrees. The fever has not subsided after taking medication, and there are symptoms of restlessness. What is the treatment method?
Answer
The baby’s persistent fever and restlessness may be signs of the hand, foot, and mouth disease symptoms improving, but it could also indicate the onset of neurological symptoms. It is recommended to seek immediate medical attention for intravenous treatment and antiviral therapy. Parents should take their child to a specialist clinic for a follow-up examination and treatment under the doctor’s guidance. In daily life, you can give your child some juice to aid digestion and supplement vitamins to prevent diarrhea. Wishing the baby a quick recovery!
