Hand, foot, and mouth disease appeared with fever on the third day, what should I do?

Patient's question:

It's the fourth day now. I started having a fever again yesterday, and it's still above 38 degrees Celsius. How can it not go down below 38 degrees? I went to the hospital for a check-up, and my blood test results were high. At the hospital, the doctor prescribed medication, but it's still not breaking the fever at night.

Doctor's answer:

If the blood test results are high, it indicates the presence of a bacterial infection. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, you need to take fever-reducing medication. Additionally, you should seek medical treatment at a hospital. It is recommended to receive intravenous fluids for anti-inflammatory treatment, as this is more effective. Generally, continuous treatment for a week is required to heal. Rest well, drink plenty of water, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, irritating, greasy, and fried foods. Pay attention to the hygiene of the affected area and keep it clean and dry.
