Question
Can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease become severe without fever?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can vary in severity, so it is important to observe for complications such as neurological symptoms, nausea and vomiting, and poor mental state. Additionally, other symptoms should be monitored, and if necessary, perform pathogen tests, routine blood inflammatory markers, liver and kidney function tests, and myocardial enzyme profiles to understand the condition of other organs. If the symptoms are mild, symptomatic treatment is mainly recommended, such as taking some traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying.
