Patient's question:
The baby is 2 years old. The doctor diagnosed hand, foot, and mouth disease. The baby received intravenous fluids for 3 days. On the third night, the baby had a fever. What should I do if the baby has recurrent fever after getting hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
It should be the development process of the disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a disease development process within a week, during which the process may recur with repeated fever and the reappearance of rashes. The main focus is to carefully observe the child's mental state. If the child is in good spirits, able to eat, sleep, and play, there is no need to worry too much. However, if the child is in poor spirits, experiences a headache, nausea, loss of appetite, pale complexion, limb tremors or convulsions, it indicates further deterioration and requires timely transfer to a hospital with the necessary conditions for treatment. Children are troubled by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take them for immediate medical attention to avoid various misconceptions and receive timely symptomatic treatment. For parents, it is crucial to promptly monitor the child's condition.
