Patient's question:
At half a year old, red spots appeared on the hands and buttocks, starting 7 days ago. On the fourth day, a fever of 38.6°C occurred, with fever episodes every 10 hours. Today, the temperature is 37.8°C. The throat is slightly red.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Oral heat-clearing drugs were administered. Intravenous fluids were given for 5 days, and the red spots gradually disappeared, leaving light dark stains.
Is it still necessary to receive intravenous fluids?
Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to your description. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by a viral infection. Common symptoms are characterized by blisters appearing on the child's hands, feet, and mouth. Some children may also have fever. It is recommended that you first pay attention to your child's personal hygiene. If the child has a lot of rashes and also has discomfort such as fever, it is recommended to have a blood test for the child to understand the blood picture. This can assist with intravenous fluid treatment.
