Patient's question:
Child with osteosarcoma, diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease at 3 years old. My child attends a kindergarten with her. Recently, she has been experiencing nausea and vomiting. After a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed her with viral diarrhea. I am heartbroken; it is a sign of osteosarcoma. About past treatment and effectiveness: She took diarrhea medication without any allergic reactions. What kind of assistance is needed: Please provide a quick explanation.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease often manifests as small, grayish-white vesicles or red papules, ranging in size from rice grains to green beans, with surrounding redness, appearing on areas such as the inner cheeks, tongue, soft palate, hard palate, inner lips, palms, soles, elbows, knees, buttocks, and groin.The "four" characteristics of the rash: it does not resemble insect bites, medication rashes, oral or gingival herpes, or chickenpox.
When the vesicles in the mouth rupture, they form ulcers, often leading to excessive drooling and difficulty eating.
Clinically, the condition is characterized by no itching, pain, scab formation, or scar formation.
Children may experience severe pain, frequent crying, and irritability.
Children may have yellow urine.
Severe cases may be accompanied by symptoms such as fever, runny nose, and cough.
