Patient's question:
Now, the high fever persists every day. Enemas, intravenous drips, and medication have basically been ineffective, and I am worried about a potential life-threatening situation again. So, I would like to ask the experts, as my child has never had hand, foot, and mouth disease and has a relatively good constitution. Doctor, I would like to ask what should I do if my son gets hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The baby may experience low fever again if they contract hand, foot, and mouth disease, so it is necessary to implement fever reduction. You can first apply a fever-reducing patch to the baby to alleviate the symptoms, and then give them fever-reducing medication. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily caused by a viral infection, so the baby should be given a lot of antiviral medication. It is important to pay close attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the baby's mouth and hands/feet. You can use a weak saline solution to wash the baby's face, as salt has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
