Question
I had a fever at night and after receiving an injection to reduce the fever, taking ribavirin, ceftriaxone, and Zhen Gong Zai Xin, my body temperature dropped to 37.2 degrees Celsius. Rashes appeared on my mouth, feet, face, and hands. I suspect I might have hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should I be diagnosed?
Answer
Based on the description provided, the situation seems to be consistent with hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to visit a hospital as soon as possible for a doctor’s examination and to start treatment early to minimize the impact on the child. Once parents notice any symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for a consultation, and pay attention to the child’s diet, maintaining a balanced nutrition to help the child receive effective treatment and recover.
