Patient's question:
Child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, fever before the blisters appeared, and now it has been two days without fever. Do they still need to be given intravenous fluids?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned is quite serious, and it's important to focus on intravenous fluids for a few days to stabilize. Confirmation should be based on the results of the examination. It is recommended that you continue to focus on intravenous fluids for your child for a few more days, while also increasing fluid intake. It's okay, and after a couple of days, recheck the blood results. Even if the intravenous fluids are stopped, it's important to continue taking medication for a few more days to stabilize. Your child is suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, so family members must take the child to seek medical attention immediately to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it's crucial to closely monitor any changes in their child's symptoms and do everything possible to help them receive timely medical treatment for the disease.
