Question
Why does my child still have a high fever after receiving several days of intravenous infusion at the hospital?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by a virus, and it’s possible to still have a fever after treatment. Considering the possibility of viral infection, it may lead to the recurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If there is recurrent fever accompanied by seizures, it may be necessary to rule out meningitis. The treatment plan includes the use of antiviral drugs, antipyretic medications, as well as energy supplements and drugs to enhance immunity. Additionally, one should be aware of potential complications such as viral pneumonia or myocarditis.
