Question
Has my child been acting up and crying a lot recently? Could it be hand, foot, and mouth disease causing the low fever?
Answer
After being diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is important to cooperate with the doctor for active treatment and to ensure your child receives a balanced diet. Generally speaking, using ribavirin spray and acyclovir ointment topically, along with oral Shuanghuanglian granules, can help reduce the fever in about a week. During this period, closely monitor the condition, and seek medical attention promptly if there is no improvement.
