How long does hand, foot, and mouth disease recur in children?

Patient's question:

5 My baby is one and a half years old. After recovering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, which lasted for a week, he got bronchopneumonia again. During the treatment, it seems that a small amount of white blisters have appeared in my baby's mouth again. Is it a recurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease? I sincerely thank you for your help!
