Patient's question:
Today took my daughter to the hospital for treatment and intravenous infusion. After coming home, my daughter has a slightly high fever of 37.7°C. Is this a normal phenomenon? In need of help: I would like to ask if it is a normal phenomenon.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease usually starts with fever, but some children may not have a fever. Generally, blisters appear in the mouth 1-2 days after the fever begins, forming ulcers that can be very painful. The throat may also be sore, and the child may refuse to eat dinner or drool. Based on the situation you described, your child's fever at home is a normal symptom of hand, foot, and mouth disease. You can focus on caring for and treating him tomorrow.Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which can help with digestion and vitamin absorption, preventing stomach issues. We hope the child can recover quickly!
