Patient's question:
What should I do if my 2.5-year-old has hand, foot, and mouth disease? I have taken fever-reducing oral liquid and accidentally drunk it. Treatment history and effectiveness: What kind of help do you need: What should I do for my child nowDoctor's answer:
Children with fever are often accompanied by infectious causes, with common reasons including viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, and so on. If a child has recurring fever, it may be related to the failure to suppress the infection. Pay attention to the throat condition and check a blood test. Advice: Confirm whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection, and provide additional anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications. For mild cases, oral medication can be used. If the fever persists after taking oral medication for more than 3 days, it is best to administer intravenous fluids. The baby should rest and drink more water, with a light diet.
