Patient's question:
The baby is three years old this year. Recently, she has been reluctant to eat and drink milk, always complaining that her mouth hurts. The hospital examination said she has hand, foot, and mouth disease, with ulcers in her mouth, and even a little soup or broth touching it causes extreme pain. Small red spots have also appeared on her hands and feet to varying degrees. What is hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your symptom description, hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. It is contagious. Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease may have red rashes or blisters on their hands and feet. Blisters and ulcers may also be present in the mouth. Many people will have a fever. This is hand, foot, and mouth disease in children. If this occurs, please avoid going out as much as possible and avoid contact with other children to prevent cross-infection.
