Question
Hand, foot, and mouth disease; the child has had a fever for several days along with coughing. Now the fever is gone, but the child is still coughing and has had diarrhea five times today. How should hand, foot, and mouth disease fever be treated?
Answer
Based on the described situation, it appears that the baby is experiencing a recurrence of viral infection, possibly a secondary upper respiratory tract infection. After the recurrence of this condition, it is mainly necessary to administer medication for symptomatic treatment. If there is a recurrence of diarrhea, appropriate use of montmorillonite powder and probiotics can be used for nourishment. If there is a recurrence of coughing, pediatric lung-cooling and blood-cooling granules can be considered based on the situation. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children. It is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for a follow-up visit and treat under the doctor’s guidance. In daily life, it is beneficial to give the child some juice to aid digestion and vitamin absorption, prevent stomach problems, and hope the child can recover quickly!
