Patient's question:
A one-year-old baby started fevering five days ago, with a high temperature reaching 39 degrees. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and found small bubbles on the throat. The fever began to subside last night, but the baby experienced sudden jerks again while napping yesterday afternoon, jumping every few minutes. What could be the reason? What should be done? I am really anxious, urgently, thank you, doctor!Doctor's answer:
① Generally, the baby is likely to have a calcium deficiency and can actively supplement calcium with medication. It is recommended: You can choose to take oral calcium gluconate solution, and after the fever subsides, it is advisable to adjust to a light diet and drink more water.② Check if there are blisters on the hands and feet, excluding the buttocks, to rule out hand, foot, and mouth disease. If there are only blisters in the throat, it is herpangina, which is caused by a viral infection. Antiviral medication is needed. In addition, (apply ribavirin spray externally). Generally, viral infections persist for several days.
