Patient's question:
My 1.5-year-old child has hand, foot, and mouth disease with a temperature of 37.7°C. Is this normal? How can I lower the temperature a bit?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily caused by enterovirus transmission, which can lead to fever symptoms. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination to identify the cause and provide timely symptomatic treatment. If it is a viral infection, active antiviral treatment should be implemented. Since the child is affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, the mother must take the child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment to prevent the use of small advertisements for drugs. Proper medication is necessary. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment for the disease.
