Patient's question:
Started having a fever on September 19, 2011, and got an injection at a small clinic. They didn't take my temperature, and it was around 39 degrees. Now, my temperature is around 36-37 degrees. Diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are blisters of varying severity, fever, drowsiness, poor appetite, and others. If an infant shows similar symptoms, antipyretic, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing medications should be used. If the baby still has a fever, decreased appetite, or anorexia, it is necessary to go to the hospital promptly for intravenous drip to supplement nutrition, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing medications for treatment. In the early stages of the illness, some antiviral medications can be applied, while also paying attention to keeping the affected area clean and avoiding scratching with the hands.
