Question
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease: Can It Cause Fever?
Answer
Based on your description, your child may have already shown symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease and has received appropriate treatment. During the course of hand, foot, and mouth disease, children may develop a fever, but the temperature and duration can vary from individual to individual. If your child has a fever, you can consider giving them fever-reducing medication and ensuring they maintain good hydration and a light diet. Additionally, it’s advisable to avoid taking your child to public places and to educate them on maintaining good personal hygiene habits to prevent the spread of infection. If your child’s symptoms worsen or persist without improvement, it is essential to take them to see a doctor immediately.
