Question
I’ve had a low-grade fever that keeps coming back. I finally went to the hospital for a routine blood test, and my white blood cell count was 14.5. I was diagnosed with herpangina, and after receiving intravenous fluids, the fever subsided. However, two or three days later, the fever started again. The doctor advised more fluids and to pay attention to the hands, feet, and suggested a follow-up check the next day. The result at the hospital was Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease.
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, commonly occurring in infants and young children, and can lead to blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. In some cases, it can cause myocarditis and pulmonary edema. It is recommended to receive timely and standardized treatment.
