Desired Help: Confirm if it's hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Doctor's answer:
From your description, it cannot be determined if it is hand, foot, and mouth disease. There are many febrile rash diseases, which are common infectious diseases, such as hand, foot, and mouth disease, measles, rubella, and others, as well as allergic diseases. Pay attention to personal hygiene and wash your hands frequently. In terms of diet, it should be light and include foods rich in vitamins, such as vegetables and fruits. Generally, as long as there are no complications, it is usually mild and can recover quickly with antiviral treatment. Therefore, it is important to monitor the changes in your condition. If there is an increase in blisters or repeated fever, seek medical attention promptly.
