Question
Four days ago, my child started experiencing a sore mouth and red spots on their hands and feet. They haven’t had a fever yet, but two days later, they started running a fever. Yesterday, we went to the hospital and they were given an intravenous drip, which brought down the fever. However, the fever came back this afternoon. Is my child’s Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease severe?
