Question
My 5-month-old baby has developed brain inflammation again due to hand, foot, and mouth disease complications. He has been in intensive care for two days now, and he needs a respirator for breathing. He has been running a high fever, reaching over 40 degrees Celsius. Is it possible to transfer him to another hospital?
Answer
Hello, based on the description of your baby’s condition, it seems quite severe. It is advisable to transfer your child to a local children’s hospital for a second opinion. Children’s hospitals are more professional and authoritative in dealing with such cases, and general hospitals may not be able to provide adequate treatment. Especially since the persistent high fever could lead to serious health issues. I hope this advice is helpful to you, and I wish your child a speedy recovery!
