Question

My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease and was hospitalized for three days with oral ulcers, and the blisters have dried up. However, on the third afternoon, they started to have a low-grade fever (not exceeding 39 degrees), and they still had a fever in the morning of the fourth day but the fever subsided in the afternoon. How should I treat my child’s hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Based on your condition, it seems that herpangina may be causing the recurring fever symptoms. It is recommended to pay attention to your child’s body, maintain a diet based on light foods, drink plenty of hot water to enhance metabolism, avoid eating spicy or irritating food, and take oral ceftriaxone for symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment.
