Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease that the red spots on the hands and feet of a three-year-old child are?

Patient's question:

It has been two days since small red spots have appeared on my hands, feet, and in my mouth.

Doctor's answer:

If there are no symptoms of fever, it is unlikely to be the symptoms caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. Generally, hand, foot, and mouth disease is accompanied by fever symptoms. It is recommended to see a doctor promptly for examination and treatment with oral medication.
There are multiple causes that can lead to hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
