Question
The child has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. After the first day of intravenous treatment, the child still has a high fever and experiences frequent dry vomiting.
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, it is suspected that the recurrent fever and dry vomiting may be caused by inflammation. It is recommended to ensure adequate rest, eat a light diet, and drink plenty of water to promote metabolism. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretic medication should be used; if it does not exceed this, physical cooling methods such as using warm water to wipe the body can be adopted. Since the child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents should immediately take their child to the doctor and avoid using unknown medications. Medications should be used correctly under the guidance of a doctor, and provide sufficient care and attention to help them recover quickly.
