Patient's question:
My baby is a little over a year old and has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Over the past two days, she has had a fever. The children's hospital here said to give her an IV drip for three days and see if she gets better. When her fever comes down, eating doesn't seem to help much. The children's hospital says it's a process.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to assist you. According to your description, if your child contracts hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is essential to seek active treatment. If there are fever symptoms, it is recommended that you go to a tertiary hospital for a thorough examination and then receive active treatment. During this period, ensure your child drinks plenty of water. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. Once family members notice symptoms in the child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's dietary issues and suggest a balanced diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. We hope your child can receive professional treatment and recover quickly!
