No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, consider hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be treated with symptomatic therapy using antiviral drugs.

Regular follow-up is necessary, along with drinking plenty of water and taking proper isolation and protective measures to prevent transmission.
