What is the condition of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I had a fever and took medicine to bring it down. At that time, there were red spots on my palms and mouth ulcers, which I also treated with medicine. The next day, I also developed red spots on my feet. I went to the Putian City Maternal and Child Health Hospital to see a doctor, who diagnosed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease. However, they didn't have a specialized department there.

Doctor's answer:

From your description, the child's condition is due to a viral infection causing hand, foot, and mouth disease, with the appearance of rashes on the hands, feet, and inside the mouth. Based on your description and treatment, your child's condition should be improving. It is recommended to monitor the child's temperature; as long as there is no fever, there will be no serious adverse effects. Additionally, it is advised to give the child oral antiviral medications such as Antiviral Oral Liquid, Ribavirin Granules, and Radix Isatidis. For oral application, use Watermelon Frost to apply topically, which can be very effective.
