Patient's question:
The baby is two years old and has had hand, foot, and mouth disease for several days. The doctor said to apply some medicine and take some medication, in addition to a spray. Just now, the temperature was measured at 37.5°C. I took off her clothes and measured it again, and it was 37°C. Is it considered a fever?Doctor's answer:
Based on the child's temperature you described, this is considered to be within the range of high fever. It is recommended that you take anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications for treatment, and at the same time, use fever-reducing medications. The child is threatened by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so the family must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of small advertisements for drugs. Proper medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to carefully observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
