Patient's question:
High fever is recurring. When checked at the hospital, it was found that white blood cell count had increased. After several days of intravenous fluids, the high fever subsided, and several blisters resembling mosquito bites appeared on the legs. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child's illness does not match hand, foot, and mouth disease, as hand, foot, and mouth disease is not itchy, and white blood cell counts are often not elevated.1. The child's condition is still more consistent with a respiratory infection, and active anti-infection treatment will quickly return to normal.
2. Be very careful with the condition on your child's feet; do not scratch, as there is a certain relationship between blisters and scratching. You can apply some topical ointment for your child. The fever has persisted despite current treatment.
