My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. The doctor prescribed medication and said it would be fine in a week. As long as my child doesn't have a fever, right? It's been two days now, will my child have a fever? What causes the fever? My child was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease yesterday, but what should I do?Doctor's answer:
You should give the child medication on time.Guideline: Since hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection, it may cause fever according to individual differences. In this case, it is recommended to take medication on time. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, appropriate fever-reducing treatment should be given.
