Patient's question:
Today is the first day of rehydration, and after going back, I developed a high fever and constant dry cough. The dry cough keeps coming back after each episode. If the baby gets infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered that the recurrent fever and nausea symptoms are caused by inflammation. It is recommended to pay attention to your body regularly, with a diet based on light foods, drink more water to enhance metabolic decomposition. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, take fever-reducing medication to lower the temperature. If it is above 38.5°C, use physical cooling methods such as wiping the body with warm water. The child is affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take the child to see a doctor and receive treatment promptly to prevent the use of small advertisements for drugs. Proper medication is necessary. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
