Question
With persistent coughing and abnormal urine tests, followed by a sudden high fever and red rashes, could this be hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may have suffered another bacterial infection and should be treated with antibiotics promptly. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by enteroviruses and is unrelated to bacterial infections. The current symptoms may be related to rashes caused by bacterial infections and can be relieved with calamine lotion. It is recommended to take the child to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and treatment under the guidance of a physician. In daily life, you can give juice to help with digestion and vitamin absorption, preventing diarrhea. We look forward to the baby’s early recovery!
