Patient's question:
The child is two and three months old, a sister, and today (the sister discovered hand, foot, and mouth disease on June 17th) discovered hand, foot, and mouth disease. After seeing the doctor and going back, she found that she had a fever of 38.4 degrees. The doctor prescribed Kangfuxin liquid, Ribavirin lozenges, Lanting oral liquid, and Jintongjian spray.Question 1: She has a fever. If the two children are discovered to have hand, foot, and mouth disease one after the other, how should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
From your description, it's possible that your sister's hand, foot, and mouth disease was transmitted by your brother, or it's also possible that both of you were infected by someone else.1. When your sister has a fever, you can use Motrin to reduce it.
2. Since both of you already have hand, foot, and mouth disease, there's no need to worry about mutual infection again.
3. If your sister's condition worsens, or if her high fever doesn't subside, it's important to seek medical attention promptly. Children suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease require immediate medical treatment, so family members must take them to the hospital in time to prevent the use of over-the-counter medications. Proper medication is essential. For parents, it's crucial to provide children with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help them receive timely treatment for the illness.
