Is the baby suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

A man is 2 years old. I don't know why I got this disease back then because I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I only went for a check-up when I felt unwell, and this disease has already started to affect my life. Please ask: Is the baby suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by enterovirus infection and can be infected. The main symptoms are as follows:
1. Acute onset with fever;
2. Recurrence of scattered blisters on the oral mucosa, rice-sized, with significant pain;
3. Recurrence of rice-sized blisters on the palms or soles, with the buttocks or knees occasionally affected;
4. Inflammatory redness around the blisters, with less fluid inside;
5. Some children may also have symptoms such as cough, runny nose, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Pay close attention and drink more water. If the above symptoms reappear, it is recommended to seek medical attention again.
