Patient's question:
Is it normal for hand, foot, and mouth disease to have repeated low fever?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease repeatedly reappearing with low fever is a common phenomenon, which is a reaction after the human body has metabolized the toxins of the virus. It can be treated with oral antiviral medications. Once the virus disappears, the body temperature will rise. At the same time, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be taken orally to reduce fever. During high fever, it is necessary to increase fluid intake sufficiently. If there is an electrolyte imbalance, intravenous fluids should be administered for treatment.
