Patient's question:
My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. The low fever keeps coming and going, and it doesn't go down. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease keeps recurring with fever, indicating severe inflammation. Whether hand, foot, and mouth disease is severe or not depends on whether the high fever is difficult to reduce. The recurring fever with hand, foot, and mouth disease suggests severe inflammation, and one of the signs of its severity is a high fever that is hard to bring down. Carefully observe the child for signs of muscle tremors, dry cough, mental state, and bowel movements. A complete blood count test should be conducted to check if the numbers are high. If the fever keeps recurring, antiviral and fever-reducing treatments should be encouraged. If there are any neurological symptoms, intravenous immunoglobulin should be administered. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can significantly affect children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, children can be given enough care and attention, with special attention paid to their diet, and it is hoped that they can recover as soon as possible!
