Patient's question:
The little kid at home has had cracked lips these past couple of days. Also, there are many broken places on his hands. So, we suspect it might be hand, foot, and mouth disease. I'd like to consult a doctor. My child's mouth is bad. I want to ask if it could be hand, foot, and mouth disease? How can we tell if it's hand, foot, and mouth disease in this situation?Doctor's answer:
The current symptoms are not considered to be symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is suspected that the symptoms may be caused by a deficiency of trace elements or by internal heat. Multiple vitamins and heat-clearing medications can be taken for treatment. Drink more water, eat more coarse grains, fruits, and vegetables. Avoid foods that are likely to cause internal heat, which is beneficial for controlling the current symptoms. If necessary, you can consult a clinical doctor for treatment.
