Patient's question:
Does hand, foot, and mouth disease cause persistent low fever?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly caused by the transmission of enteroviruses. After onset, children often experience recurrent oral pain, the reappearance of blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, loss of appetite, fatigue, and other symptoms. Fever may also occur, often accompanied by repeated episodes lasting several days. Once diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, isolation should be observed to prevent cross-infection. Antiviral medications can be administered, as well as various oral mucosal sprays to promote the complete recovery of oral mucosa.
