Patient's question:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease for five days, now all the blisters have disappeared. But starting last night, it started to feel hot, slightly above 37 degrees Celsius. The daytime temperature was normal, but last night it was a bit low-grade fever again. Is this situation normal? Should I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up?Doctor's answer:
The child's thermoregulation center has not fully developed, and their body temperature may fluctuate with changes in environmental temperature. It is recommended to monitor the child's temperature data closely. A temperature above 37.5°C is normal, but if the temperature drops below 38°C, timely treatment should be administered. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children. It is advised that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. It is acceptable to give the child some juice daily, as it helps with digestion and vitamin absorption, preventing stomach issues. We hope the child can recover quickly!
