Question
My daughter is 1 year and 5 months old. She recently has a fever, followed by a refusal to eat and drink, difficulty in drinking water, and white spots appearing inside her mouth. I am worried whether it is a recurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Answer
Based on the description, the appearance of white spots inside the mouth after the fever in your daughter should be oral ulcers rather than a recurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to use the Shuangxiangshuang Spray and to drink more water, consume fresh vegetables and fruits. If the symptoms do not improve, you should bring your child to the hospital for a follow-up visit as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced nutrition and daily care to help their child recover quickly.
