Question
What should parents do if a child still feels feverish after receiving an injection and medication?
Answer
When a child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, immediate antiviral treatment should be administered, and antipyretics should be used when the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C. At the same time, ensure the child drinks plenty of water, undergoes physical cooling measures, and isolated to prevent cross-infection. It is recommended to treat with medications such as ribavirin, Qingkailing, Banlangen, etc., administered via intravenous or oral routes. Additionally, pay attention to the child’s diet, avoiding irritating and cold foods, and develop good hygiene habits.
