Patient's question:
The child is two years old. The day before yesterday, they had a fever of 41 degrees Celsius. Later, they used fever-reducing medicine, and the temperature came down, but it kept fluctuating. There were bubbles in the mouth and red spots on the buttocks. Today, there are also some red spots on the hands and feet. The hospital visit confirmed it was hand, foot, and mouth disease, requiring an injection of eight units of immunoglobulin. When the child had a fever of 41 degrees Celsius, they had convulsions.Doctor's answer:
According to your symptoms, it is considered that the infant is caused by a viral infection, and the preliminary diagnosis is hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is more common in children under the age of 5 and can cause blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. Mild hand, foot, and mouth disease does not require the use of globulin. Globulin can enhance the immune system of the human body. In severe cases, hand, foot, and mouth disease can be used, and the effect is very good. The condition is mild and has a self-limiting nature, which is beneficial for infants and young children. Since this disease is self-limiting, it is only necessary to treat the disease and strengthen care. Use a weak saline solution to wipe or rinse the mouth to prevent secondary infection. If necessary, take oral antiviral drugs.
