What is the reason for the red spots in the baby's mouth?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I have been very worried about his condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of issues, and I am very concerned, fearing that it may worsen. Could you please explain what causes red spots in the baby's mouth?

Doctor's answer:

It may not necessarily be hand, foot, and mouth disease. Viral infections in the mouth, such as herpangina, can also cause fever and blisters. If there is excessive drooling, consider the possibility of mumps. It is best to go to the hospital to check antibody levels for a definitive diagnosis.
The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to the hospital immediately for medical treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely observe any changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
