Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. Since yesterday, he said his mouth hurts, and I thought it was a heatstroke, but he didn't seem to care. This morning, I noticed he had more than ten small blisters on his hands. The edges were red, and the centers looked like bubbles. He said it was a bit painful. He has one on his foot and more in his mouth, which looks like it's ulcerating.Doctor's answer:
Small blisters on the mouth and feet, according to your symptoms, low fever is hand, foot, and mouth disease. You can check if the child also has blisters on the buttocks, as this area is prone to them. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious infectious disease spread by rashes in pediatricians during spring, caused by the varicella-zoster virus. In fact, this situation occurs every year, and the symptoms in many places are mild, just like your baby, who is in good spirits and eating normally, with no changes for about a week. Only a few with poor constitution or those suffering from diseases during the illness need to be hospitalized. Pay attention to the baby's condition and seek medical attention promptly.
