Question
My child will be 4 years old next month and has had a high fever of 40 degrees again. After the fever subsided, white dots appeared on the upper palate. What should I do?
Answer
White dots appearing in the mouth after a fever may be related to viral infection. It is advisable to take the child to the hospital for an immediate check-up and diagnosis. Check if there are similar symptoms on the hands, feet, and waist as well, and early treatment is usually without major complications. You can give the child some oral herbal medicine for clearing heat and reducing fire, and pay attention to a light diet and drinking plenty of water. At the same time, it is recommended to use antiviral drugs and perform nebulizer inhalation therapy for throat moistening and inflammation reduction.
