Patient's question:
The child will be 4 years old next month. On November 24th, they had a high fever of 40 degrees and took fever-reducing medicine. Today, the fever has subsided to 37.8 degrees, and they are in good spirits. However, there are several white spots visible on the roof of their mouth, with redness around them. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
The baby has a fever and white spots in the mouth, which may be a viral infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for examination and confirmation. Check if there are any on the hands and feet, as well as the waist. Don’t worry, early treatment will be fine. You can take some oral heat-clearing and fire-quenching medicine. These symptoms will naturally disappear once the illness improves. The baby should drink more water and have a light diet. It is suggested to give the baby more water, fruits, and vegetables, a light diet, and some antiviral oral liquids. Also, consider doing a nebulization to moisten the throat and reduce inflammation.
