Patient's question:
The child is still in kindergarten. Maybe because they are too young, their immunity is relatively low, so they got infected. I noticed that there were many blisters in their mouth and realized they had hand, foot, and mouth disease. Now the child has been having low-grade fever. I would like to ask, what medicine should be taken for low-grade fever with hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. In this case, oral antiviral drugs should be taken under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. If the condition is severe, intravenous infusion treatment may be required. Fever is a symptom, and since it is caused by a viral infection, following the doctor's plan to eliminate the virus will prevent fever. Pay attention to keeping warm, avoid getting cold, drink more water appropriately, and the general course of the disease usually lasts about one to ten days.
