Can children with hand, foot, and mouth disease and high fever take this medicine?

Patient's question:

The child is four years old, and the hand, foot, and mouth disease blisters have healed. The past two days, the child has had high fever and has been taking two medications: Ersentai Reviving and Oseltamivir Granules. Can the child take this medicine for high fever caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

After a child contracts hand, foot, and mouth disease, the body's resistance may temporarily rise again. There is a higher risk of reinfection. Currently, the child has low-grade fever. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a blood test to determine the nature of the infection before considering medication. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. If family members notice any symptoms in the child, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to the child's care.
