Question
Started with a fever yesterday afternoon, initially low then high, with red rashes on the buttocks and palms, oral ulcers, drooling, runny nose, and coughing.
Answer
Hello, if a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease has recurrent fever for a prolonged period, it is advisable to review routine blood tests and other infection indicators to rule out secondary infections and to treat purposefully. While giving the child antipyretics, it is best to also combine physical cooling methods, such as wiping the body’s relevant areas with warm water.
