Patient's question:
Doctor, my daughter has had hand, foot, and mouth disease for 8 months, 5 days of intravenous drip, 4 days of repeated fever, and 3 days. What should I do? Should I be hospitalized?Doctor's answer:
A 8-month-old female infant with hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) for 5 days and fever for 4 days after intravenous infusion for 4 days has consulted for 3 days. Do I need to be hospitalized? Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a viral infectious disease with a certain degree of self-healing. It is as mild as a common viral cold. Only symptomatic treatment is needed. Severe cases are usually accompanied by complications, such as pneumonia, myocarditis, and brain problems. The latter requires hospitalization.
