Patient's question:
My daughter is three and a half years old. Over the past few days, she said her mouth hurts, and it looks like ulcers inside her mouth, but there are no blisters on her hands or feet. There are just a few small red spots on the soles of her feet. I want to ask if this could be hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease's water blisters usually grow on one side of both hands' palms, including the edges (excluding the back), with blisters on blisters, surrounded by red halos and white blisters. (A blister refers to the blisters that appear at the beginning of the rash on the hands and feet, not higher than the skin surface. About half a day or one night before the white blisters appear on the rash, they are like rice, usually not higher than the surface of the rash, which is the characteristic of the rash and also the sequence of the rash. White blisters turn dark red after about 2 days and the rash disappears completely or partially within 5-7 days (incorrect treatment can resolve the rash). The rash usually reaches its peak on the 4th day and begins to subside after 4 days. It is recommended to take your baby to a regular top three hospitals for examination to rule out the cause of symptomatic treatment and wish your baby a healthy growth.
