Question
My baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease with a fever of 37.6 degrees. I found it yesterday. How should I treat the fever associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on your description, considering that your 6-month-old baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease accompanied by fever and other discomforts. It is recommended to administer antiviral medication and fever-reducing drugs. If the symptoms do not improve or if there is no relief, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and undergo intravenous treatment. Since the baby is troubled by hand, foot, and mouth disease, family members must take the child to the hospital for immediate treatment to avoid self-medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to provide sufficient care and attention to the child and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
