Question
Parent Inquiry: The infant has a few red dots and had no fever before, but has had a fever for two days with a body temperature of about 38 degrees. The fever decreased after taking antipyretic medication, but the fever returned after receiving intravenous drip treatment at home.
Answer
Doctor’s Advice: This condition may indicate an infection, and it is recommended to undergo a routine blood test to determine the cause. While taking antipyretic medication, it is advisable to treat with antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs such as Kanamycin and Ceftriaxone Sodium. Try to use physical methods for temperature reduction during fever. If the child is diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, treatment should be carried out in coordination with the doctor, including methods such as gastrointestinal pressure reduction, and good hygiene habits should be developed. Parents should pay attention to not allowing the child to be picky or have a one-sided diet and maintain a balanced diet.
