Doctor's answer:
Hello, the 14-month-old infant you described has hand, foot, and mouth disease, which is mostly caused by an infectious disease of enterovirus. It can cause blisters on the hands, feet, mouth, and other parts. The neutrophils, eosinophils, and fragments of vesicles in the child's hand water blisters, intercellular and intracellular edema around the vesicles, and mixed infiltration of various white blood cells in the dermis are the main reasons for the appearance of blisters on children's hands and feet. For mild cases, you don't need to be hospitalized and can be treated and rested at home. Avoid cross-infection.
