Patient's question:
When the baby was over 20 days old, a baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease came to my house and kissed him. He had no coughing or fever, and it has been three days now.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by enterovirus infection and is contagious. The main symptoms are as follows:1. Acute onset with fever;
2. Small, rice-grain-sized vesicles appearing on the oral mucosa, causing significant pain;
3. Small, rice-grain-sized vesicles appearing on the palms or soles, occasionally affecting the buttocks or knees;
4. Inflammatory redness around the vesicles, with little fluid inside;
5. Some children may also have symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Please pay attention, drink more water, and seek medical attention if the above symptoms occur!
