Patient's question:
There was agitation, high fever, and pneumonia symptoms. It seems to be in the early stage of severe illness now. Last night, there were about 10 episodes of agitation and one episode of high fever, reaching 38.4 degrees.Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is divided into five stages. Stage one is mild, stage two is severe, also known as the neurological involvement stage, stage three is the pre-cardiopulmonary failure stage, stage four is the cardiopulmonary failure stage, and stage five is the recovery stage. Mild hand, foot, and mouth disease has a rapid onset and progresses quickly, easily affecting the nervous system. Therefore, hospitalization is required for stages two and above. Mild cases generally recover within 5-7 days, while severe cases depend on the condition. Parents should pay attention to their child's mental status, body temperature, eating habits, vomiting, headache, seizures, limb tremors, convulsions, restlessness, and increased respiratory and heart rate. As long as it is detected and treated in time, the prognosis is still very hopeful.
