Patient's question:
Recently, hand, foot, and mouth disease has been quite prevalent. I don't know how my child got infected, and it might also be our fault for not taking proper protective measures. Now, my child has been having a fever and it keeps recurring. So, I'd like to consult a doctor. Is it normal for hand, foot, and mouth disease to cause recurring fever?Doctor's answer:
Generally, fever is likely to occur after hand, foot, and mouth infection. If the child's resistance is weak or the ventilation environment at school is poor, it may lead to infection. Therefore, follow the doctor's advice to arrange medication and treatment as soon as possible, and check if the child's appetite is normal. Generally, recovery can be fully achieved within 2 weeks. In daily life, it is recommended to strengthen nutrition and improve the child's resistance. Also, pay attention to hydration. Wishing you good health.
