Patient's question:
What illness does a child have if they haven't eaten for several days? They had a slight fever a couple of days ago, but it went down after taking some medicine.Previous Treatment and Effect:
Takes fever-reducing medicine.
Help Needed:
It's said to be hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is suspected to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. After the child is infected with the virus, they usually experience many prodromal symptoms. The prodromal symptoms are often: high fever, poor appetite, listlessness, and the child's spirits are not good either. It is recommended to actively seek treatment at a regular hospital. Additionally, do not take the child to crowded public places or poorly ventilated areas. Outdoor activities in places with sufficient sunlight are perfectly fine. Keep the windows open frequently at home to ensure ventilation. Pay attention to the hygiene of the environment, the personal hygiene of the child, and the hygiene of the food. I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health.
