Patient's question:
My child has been like this for four or five days now. Low fever, and the medicine brings it down. Without medicine, it comes back. The child's mouth is broken and they're afraid to eat. I want to ask the doctor if my child could have hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
This parent, the child is two years old and has been having recurrent fever. Based on your description, it is suspected that the baby has mycoplasma pneumonia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for intravenous treatment, which can use erythromycin, and the effect is quite good. Closely monitor the changes in body temperature. If it is below 38.5°C, take fever-reducing medication. If it is below 38.5°C, physical cooling should be the primary method. The diet should be light and easy to digest. If necessary, undergo a lung CT and EB virus test.
