Patient's question:
2 Yesterday morning, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach with vomiting. In the evening, I had a high fever of 39.5°C. After taking fever-reducing medicine, my temperature returned to normal, but I was told my throat was sore. Starting last night, I began to feel itchy on the soles of my feet. Today at noon, I noticed small pimples on the soles of my feet and suspect it might be hand, foot, and mouth disease. Do the pimples of hand, foot, and mouth disease itch?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, it's not necessarily the case. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, commonly occurring in children under the age of 5. It can cause blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, often accompanied by symptoms such as fever, cough, and runny nose. Based on your baby's symptoms, it may be due to general rashes. It is recommended to go to the pediatric department of the hospital for examination to identify the cause clearly, so that treatment can be administered, which will also provide more peace of mind.
