Patient's question:
The day before yesterday I had a fever, but my temperature has been normal for the last two days. I have blisters in my mouth, but not on my hands or feet.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by the Coxsackie virus and is transmitted through dust, contact, droplets, and air. It commonly occurs in infants around 2 years old and requires active antiviral treatment, usually lasting about 2 weeks. It is recommended to take acyclovir or ribavirin, honeysuckle granules, and symptomatic treatment simultaneously. If only oral blisters are present, it may be a symptom of herpangina, and without a history of exposure, it cannot be diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease.
