What should I do if I have a fever again after taking medicine and getting an injection?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even after visiting the hospital for a check-up, nothing helped. I'm wondering what to do if the fever returns after taking medicine and getting an injection.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is necessary to take antiviral medication promptly. It is recommended to receive intravenous infusion or oral Ribavirin, Qingkailing, or Banlangen treatment. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, antipyretic drugs should be taken; otherwise, physical cooling methods should be used, and the child should drink more water, be isolated for treatment, and prevent cross-infection.
There are many causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If the child is confirmed to have the disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
