Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please explain what's wrong with the sores in their mouth and the small red spots on their hands?Doctor's answer:
Red spots on the skin suggest first checking for the possibility of thrombocytopenia and also noting the potential lack of vitamin C. Additionally, it's important to monitor whether there are abnormalities in liver function, as a deficiency in vitamin K can also cause this phenomenon.There are multiple causes for hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is diagnosed with it, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
