Patient's question:
Two days ago, a sore appeared again on my lip. Tonight, I've already started to have a fever, but my family hasn't noticed the rash. They are unaware of the previous treatment and its effectiveness: I took many heat-clearing and detoxifying medications. I wonder if these symptoms could be hand, foot, and mouth disease? Should I go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Your child has not noticed any rashes on their body, nor any in their mouth, so it is unlikely to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. You can focus on giving your child medications to clear heat and detoxify, as the possibility of hand, foot, and mouth disease is low. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. Once a mother notices her child's symptoms, she should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to your child's diet. It is recommended to eat a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect them. We hope your child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
