Patient's question:

Doctor, the child suddenly had a fever today. They went for a follow-up visit and confirmed that they have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Small blisters have appeared all over their body. What should I do if the baby has high fever for two days with hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

If there is, then the current low temperature may be related to fever-reducing medication. An eight-month-old baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease may be prone to severe recurrence. It is recommended to revisit the hospital for a check-up, including blood tests, blood sugar tests, etc. Pay close attention to the baby's mental state and watch for convulsions. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. Once family members notice the child's symptoms, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's diet. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet to digest and absorb nutrients in daily life. We hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment to aid in recovery!
