Patient's question:
Symptoms of the entire week? Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease: Other symptoms are similar, red spots on the back of hands and feet, not rashes or blisters. Ulcers were found in the mouth a few days ago, and fever was discovered tonight.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the baby's condition should first be considered as a possibility of hand, foot, and mouth disease. The diagnosis of this disease requires a viral test through a throat swab or stool sample, but the results usually take 2-4 weeks, so doctors typically diagnose the baby based on its symptoms. The main symptoms include acute onset of oral mucosa, fever, mucosal or ulcers, as well as rice-sized or blisters on the palms or soles, sometimes on the buttocks or knees.Advice: I suggest you take your child to the local hospital to see a doctor for diagnosis. This will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. Additionally, I recommend not to worry. Even if it is hand, foot, and mouth disease, with proper treatment and observation, it usually does not affect the baby significantly and typically recovers within about a week.
