Patient's question:
My son had a cold a few days ago with coughing, but after the cold subsided, several blisters appeared on his back with hard edges and watery centers, and he also has a few on his neck. He has a rash on his hands and feet with some itching, a few mouth ulcers, and has been feverish for two days.Previous Treatment and Effects:
The doctor diagnosed him with hand, foot, and mouth disease. He was given heat-toxin clearing injections, ceftriaxone, acyclovir, and other medications. He also took Qingkailing and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, but the fever returned after his temperature dropped.
Help Needed:
Could you please advise on the next steps for treatment?
Doctor's answer:
The reason for fever is often caused by infections, which include bacterial infections, viral infections, as well as infections from mycoplasma, chlamydia, and fungi. It can also be due to abnormalities in the body's temperature regulation center, abnormal skin heat conduction, or the formation of sterile purulent substances. You can start by taking acetaminophen orally, drinking plenty of water, and taking Daqingye oral liquid. If you feel uncomfortable, you should seek reexamination at any time, and hospitalization may be necessary if needed.This is the advice for the question "How to treat a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease who has a fever."
