How to deal with high fever that doesn't break

Patient's question:

Yesterday afternoon, I started feeling feverish. It started with low-grade fever and then escalated to high fever. I have red spots on my buttocks and also on my palms. I have mouth ulcers, drooling, runny nose, and coughing.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your child has hand, foot, and mouth disease with repeated fever for a prolonged period, it is recommended to review blood tests and other infection indicators to rule out secondary infections and treat accordingly.
Advice: While giving your child fever-reducing medication, it is best to combine it with physical cooling methods. Use lukewarm water to wipe down relevant parts of the body.
