Patient's question:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is almost gone, but the child keeps having high fever. Even after taking Motrin, it doesn't seem to help much. The doctor at the hospital said it's normal, but I'm wondering if the child might be in trouble with the fever persisting like this.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is characterized by recurrent blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, with mild and brief symptoms, commonly seen in children. During the current stage of complete recovery, dietary recommendations include: a liquid diet based on milk, soy milk, rice soup, egg drop soup, etc., with small, frequent meals to maintain basic nutritional needs. Children threatened by hand, foot, and mouth disease should be taken to the hospital promptly for treatment by family members to avoid various misconceptions. Symptomatic treatment should be administered in a timely manner. For parents, it is essential to closely observe changes in their child's symptoms and provide as much support as possible to ensure timely treatment for the disease.
