Patient's question:
My baby is five months old and has been coughing a bit and having a runny nose recently, but no fever! However, three blisters similar to pimples have appeared on her hands, and she also has pimples on her buttocks, but they are not blisters. There are no blisters on her palms or soles! Could it be hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute upper respiratory tract infection caused by enterovirus, which can appear on the buttocks and mouth, as well as on the palms and soles of the hands and feet as blisters. Currently, it is important to rest and maintain proper nutrition. Avoid spicy foods and consider taking Pu'di Lan anti-inflammatory oral liquid for treatment. It is best to go to the hospital for blood tests, blood sugar tests, and chest X-rays to confirm the cause and receive appropriate treatment.The above advice is for the question "Is my five-month-old baby's recent cough and runny nose hand, foot, and mouth disease?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
