Patient's question:
At half a year old, my child fell ill on June 28th. At that time, they had a high fever of 39 degrees, blisters on their hands and feet, mouth ulcers, and could not eat. They also exhibited symptoms of convulsions. They were taken to the hospital for treatment. On July 3rd, they recovered and were discharged. Now at home, their temperature is between 37.7 and 37.9 degrees when measured. In the morning, they occasionally cough once when waking up. ?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. Clinically, it presents with typical herpetic lesions accompanied by fever, and it may even lead to encephalitis and pulmonary edema.Advice: The total course of the disease is usually 2 weeks. Isolation at home is generally recommended. If the child does not have a rash, I can consider the hand, foot, and mouth disease to be cured. I believe the current fever (low-grade) is basically unrelated to the previous hand, foot, and mouth disease. The child is currently coughing. It is important to check whether the food is cool. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test and check for cold symptoms.
