Patient's question:
My son had a high fever a few days ago. He has been in a low mood ever since. Taking him out to play doesn't seem to lift his spirits either. Additionally, I noticed some small red spots on his palms, similar to rashes. So I wanted to ask, could this be hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The current situation is not considered symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Blood tests can be conducted for confirmation. Proper fever reduction measures can be taken. Drink plenty of water. Closely monitor skin symptoms. Get adequate rest. Treatment should also be based on test results. Antiviral medication may be administered if necessary to control symptoms. Avoid foods that may trigger outbreaks or irritate the condition. Do not expose yourself to wind. Observe the body's recovery progress. This is beneficial for overall health.
