Patient's question:
My daughter got infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease just a few days after starting kindergarten. She has had a low-grade fever that won't go away, and she has developed many blisters in her mouth. After taking medicine for several days, there hasn't been much improvement. I don't know if hand, foot, and mouth disease can be fatal. How long does the general treatment usually take to work?Doctor's answer:
After the recurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease, children with mild symptoms generally tend to gradually recover and will not experience any further dangerous situations. However, if children with severe symptoms are present, it may lead to the recurrence of dangerous situations. If there is a persistent high fever that does not subside, it indicates that the child may be experiencing a recurrence of severe hand, foot, and mouth disease. In this case, it is necessary to seek timely hospital treatment.
