My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease for several days now. His mouth and buttocks are covered in rashes.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you described, hand, foot, and mouth disease usually lasts for about three to four days. Your sleep quality is not good, and your appetite is poor. A week ago, the first symptoms were noticed around the buttocks. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a virus. Treatment mainly involves antiviral therapy and symptomatic treatment. It is best to be hospitalized for observation.
