Patient's question:
My young nephew seems to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, but he doesn't have a fever. Does hand, foot, and mouth disease not cause fever?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease can certainly lead to fever symptoms. This disease is caused by a viral infection and inflammation, which stimulates the body's temperature regulation center, resulting in an immune response that causes fever symptoms. At the same time, it is important to drink more water, measure body temperature, and promptly use physical cooling measures, or oral fever-reducing medications and antiviral drugs to prevent scratching and avoid further deterioration of the condition.
