Patient's question:
The baby is eighty days old. Yesterday, I noticed blisters on the tip of his tongue and thick, yellow tongue coating, which made me very worried. The child is not eating milk anymore. Could he have hand, foot, and mouth disease? >2 days. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No matter how much assistance was given: My baby is eight...Doctor's answer:
Before the onset of the illness, there are usually no obvious symptoms. Most children develop the illness suddenly, with a fever of about 38°C. Some children may also experience symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, and other fever-related symptoms. The illness begins acutely with fever, followed by the appearance of maculopapular and vesicular rashes on the palms or soles, as well as on the knees, buttocks, and perianal area. The rashes are surrounded by inflammatory erythema, with less fluid in the vesicles. Dispersed vesicles may also appear on the oral mucosa, causing significant pain. Some children may also experience symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Rashes typically appear 1-2 days after the onset of fever, usually on the palms and soles, but can also appear on the buttocks. Some children may not have a fever and only show symptoms such as rashes or herpetic stomatitis on the hands, feet, and buttocks, with a milder condition. The majority of children recover completely within a week, with fever subsiding and rashes disappearing. Most cases are mild, primarily characterized by fever and rashes or vesicles on the hands, feet, and mouth, and most patients can recover on their own. A few cases may develop severe complications such as meningitis, encephalitis, myocarditis, and pneumonia. A very small number of children with hand, foot, and mouth disease may develop severe complications that can be life-threatening. Some severely ill children may have a rapid progression of the disease and are at high risk of death. Most children and adults who are infected with the virus do not develop the illness but can spread the virus. It is difficult to determine whether it is hand, foot, and mouth disease, so it is recommended to take your child to a regular hospital for examination. The above advice is for the question "Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease for a 80-day-old baby?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
