Question
How to administer medication at home for children with persistent low fever due to hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly transmitted through respiratory routes and peaks during the spring. It is a self-limiting disease that can be cured without fever or other special symptoms. It primarily manifests as blisters on the skin of a child’s hands and feet. Generally, children with weaker bodies have lower resistance and are more susceptible to infection. If your child has a high fever, carefully observe the child’s condition, ensure they drink plenty of water, and use warm water to bathe them. If the fever persists or continues to drop, it is recommended to visit a department of infectious diseases for a follow-up consultation.
