Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl had a fever of 38.8°C on October 17 evening and took Motrin. On October 18, the hospital diagnosed her with upper respiratory infection.Doctor's answer:
Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease usually have their body temperature return to normal within 2 to 3 days. The rashes on the hands and feet often absorb within 2 to 3 days without leaving scabs. The blisters and ulcers in the mouth can last for about a week. Antiviral medications are typically effective, such as traditional Chinese medicines: Daqingye oral liquid, Antiviral oral liquid, and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid; Western medicines: Ribavirin tablets or oral liquid, both of which can have good efficacy.
