Question
A 21-month-old girl has been suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease for 10 days, accompanied by sore throat, continuous fever for 5 days, runny nose, and dry cough for 6 days. The blisters have already crusted over. She has been treated with Acyclovir, a combination cough syrup, and Roxithromycin, and has been using Jingge Duotong Sodium, Bifonazole, Dexamethasone, and Moschus Injection for the past three days. The fever can only be temporarily relieved with Paracetamol during the fever, but it soon returns to a persistent high fever, reaching a maximum of 39.5 degrees Celsius. Urgent assistance is requested from experts.
Answer
Firstly, the child should be isolated from healthy children, ensuring good ventilation in the room and providing adequate rest and proper nutrition. Oral care should be maintained to keep it clean, prevent secondary infections, and take measures to alleviate pain. The care of rashes should ensure cleanliness and comfort of clothing and bedding. Regularly use lactic acid fumigation for air disinfection, avoid contact with irritating foods, and change clothes regularly. If necessary, goldenseal and cod liver oil can be used to alleviate the pain of oral ulcers and promote healing.
