Patient's question:
12th had a fever, went to the hospital and was told it was hand, foot, and mouth disease. At the time, only the throat was affected and it wasn't very noticeable. They prescribed medication, and after taking it, the fever went away, and the throat seemed to have disappeared as well. However, today when I was washing his hands, he said his hands hurt. I looked and saw small, puffy bumps on each finger, but they weren't red, and they didn't look like blisters either.Doctor's answer:
