Patient's question:
Doctor, my child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. After treatment over the past two days, it has been improving, but on the fourth day, they had a fever. After the fever subsided, it came back again. Is this normal? The fever comes and goes.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by enterovirus transmission. This disease itself can lead to recurrent fever. If the fever recurs repeatedly, it is necessary to seek the cause, as it is likely to be a respiratory infection. Because after the pathogen is transmitted, it may trigger an overactive immune response. Hand, foot, and mouth disease greatly affects children. Once parents notice their child's symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's care. It is recommended to have a light diet and avoid spicy foods. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
