Patient's question:
The daughter has grown many pimples that are characteristic of hand, foot, and mouth disease, but she doesn't have a fever. What should I do if hand, foot, and mouth disease doesn't cause fever?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection that causes symptoms such as pimples on the body. It is normal not to have a fever, as not everyone will develop one. Children should be encouraged to drink more water and focus on a light and easily digestible diet. Topical antiviral creams can be applied to affected areas. Additionally, it is important to consume foods rich in vitamin C, such as celery, spinach, cucumber, bitter gourd, kiwi, tomatoes, and carrots.
