Patient's question:
My son has a recurring high fever that doesn't go down. When he takes medicine, he doesn't fever, but when he stops taking the medicine, the high fever returns! Moreover, the child's tongue has blisters and is. The child is three and a half years old this year? What symptoms do these events belong to? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Currently, the hospital hasn't told me about any treatment situation. What help do you want to get: I want to know about the condition.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the first consideration is herpangina or hand, foot, and mouth disease. Both of these conditions are caused by herpesvirus and are respiratory infections. However, given that your baby is three and a half weeks old, the possibility of hand, foot, and mouth disease is slightly higher. If your baby has either of these conditions, they should also exhibit systemic symptoms similar to a cold. Considering your baby's recurrent high fever and the reappearance of blisters on the tongue, it is recommended to start antiviral medication early, such as ribavirin, as well as traditional Chinese medicine preparations that have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, and soothing the throat, such as Shuanghua oral liquid, Yinhuang granules, and Yanbian granules.
