Patient's question:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease initial symptomsDoctor's answer:
The initial stage of hand, foot, and mouth disease in infants, after a fever lasting 1 to 2 days, red rashes will appear simultaneously on the palms, soles, and buttocks. These rashes are generally the size of rice grains or green beans, round or oval-shaped, with a red halo around them, and without significant itching. Oral ulcers may also develop, primarily in the throat, tonsils, and other areas, which will quickly turn into small ulcers.When children with hand, foot, and mouth disease develop rashes, they can apply oxytetracycline fish oil locally to reduce pain and promote the healing of erosions. For oral ulcers, oral intake of B vitamins, such as vitamin B2, is recommended. If the child has difficulty eating, easily digestible fluids can be provided. The food should not be too hot, and mouth rinsing should be done after meals to keep the oral cavity clean twice a day. For oral ulcers, mouth ulcer spray or Yangyin Shengji powder can be applied to the affected area.
