Patient's question:
Yesterday afternoon, I had a fever of 39.2 degrees. I took some fever-reducing medicine. This morning, my temperature dropped to 37.2 degrees. I took some more medicine. In the afternoon, red blisters appeared on my hands and mouth again, and I still had a slight fever.Doctor's answer:
If the child carefully checks the diagnosis and confirms it is hand, foot, and mouth disease, the fever symptoms may fluctuate for several days. It is recommended that the child pay attention to rest, maintain good hygiene, and wash hands frequently. Toys and daily items used by the child should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. The diet should be based on light and easily digestible foods, and encouraging the child to drink more water will help them recover more quickly. Since the child is troubled by hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents must take them to seek medical treatment immediately to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate their symptoms. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help them receive timely medical treatment for the illness.
