Patient's question:
The baby is two months and one month old. They have had hand, foot, and mouth disease with a fever for three days. The fever hasn't gone down despite getting anti-inflammatory injections, and it has been between 37.8 and 38.5 degrees Celsius. Occasionally, they shiver, have difficulty sleeping during naps, and may talk in their sleep. They are restless. How should a baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease and a fever for three days be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's condition is likely caused by fever and calcium deficiency, leading to tremors. It is recommended to give the baby more water, bathe or wipe the body with warm water for physical cooling, take routine digestive vitamins and vitamin D, and consume some antiviral medication. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, take fever-reducing medication. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children, so it is recommended that parents take the child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and treat under the guidance of a doctor. It is acceptable to give the child some juice in daily life, which is beneficial for digestion and vitamin intake, and helps prevent stomach upsets. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
