Patient's question:
My child doesn't have a fever, but the check shows hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should I do? I hope the doctor can explain this to me.Doctor's answer:
Some patients may not have a fever when they first show symptoms. Hand, foot, and mouth disease usually does not have obvious symptoms before onset. Most children suddenly develop the illness, with a fever around 38°C. Some children may also have cold-like symptoms such as coughing or runny nose.Clinical symptoms of severe cases: In some cases, severe complications may occur, such as encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, heart failure, pulmonary edema, or pulmonary hemorrhage.
I recommend that if a child shows any discomfort, it is best to take them to the hospital for examination and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
