Patient's question:
My son is two years old this year. He recently got hand, foot, and mouth disease. He doesn't have much appetite. The things he usually dislikes, he will never eat too much. But he doesn't have a fever now. Hello, is hand, foot, and mouth disease serious without a fever?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be mild or severe, and it is important to carefully observe the occurrence of complications, such as symptoms of the nervous system, nausea and vomiting, and poor mental state. Additionally, pay attention to carefully observe other symptoms and, if necessary, improve the etiological examination, including blood routine inflammatory indicators, liver and kidney function, myocardial enzyme, and other tests to understand the damage to other organs. If the symptoms are mild, the main treatment is symptomatic management, such as taking some heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicines.
