Question
A few days ago, the hand, foot, and mouth disease just cleared up, but now my neck is red and hot. I just used a fever reducer suppository, and the temperature is still 38.5 degrees. How should I treat the recurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease a few days ago?
Answer
Based on the description, a one-year-old child has just recovered from hand, foot, and mouth disease and now has a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius. After using a fever reducer suppository, the temperature has not dropped. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and wipe the body with warm water. If the body temperature remains above 38.5 degrees after one hour, you can use children’s Advil for fever reduction. Due to the influence of hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is advisable to seek medical attention immediately to avoid self-medication and ensure proper treatment. Parents should closely monitor the child’s condition and bring them to a doctor for timely consultation.
