Patient's question:
My baby is 1 year and 8 months old. The night before yesterday, he suddenly had a high fever. He took fever-reducing medicine twice. Yesterday during the day, we saw a doctor who said there was an inflammation and prescribed Pudilan, Chaihu Granules, and a lung-cleaning medicine, as well as Cefixime. Last night, he had a fever again, staying around 38.5 degrees, and we didn't give him any medicine, but he kept drinking water. This morning, the fever is gone, but I noticed some bubbles in his mouth. I had him checked again, and the doctor said it wasn't anything serious. However, when he took a bath at night, I noticed some blisters on his buttocks, apart from the red spots, and a very large one on his foot.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is possible that the child may have hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to visit the hospital for follow-up treatment as soon as possible. Most cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease are caused by viral infections, so it is advisable to seek antiviral treatment at the hospital. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can significantly affect children. Once a mother notices symptoms in her child, she should promptly take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. Additionally, attention should be paid to the child's diet, and it is recommended to maintain a balanced diet to nourish the body. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
