Patient's question:
Since yesterday, the baby's face, upper body, and head have visible red spots. Some spots have developed blisters, with redness around them and itching. No redness or blisters were observed inside the mouth. No fever.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent. Considering the child's condition, it should not be hand, foot, and mouth disease. It might be chickenpox. For the child's condition, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. It is likely chickenpox. If it is treated with antiviral therapy, it is similar to the treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease, as both are viral infections. This disease can be very severe after onset and is a highly harmful disease to children. Therefore, it is essential to take preventive measures. Make sure the child develops the habit of washing hands before meals and after using the bathroom. Do not let the child go to crowded places.
