Is the red rash on the child's palm hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

The child's soles are hot, there are red spots on the palms, no fever symptoms, a small lump inside the mouth—is this similar to the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease? It's been about two weeks.

Doctor's answer:

According to what you said, this does not seem like the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Since your condition has lasted for two weeks, I recommend you see a doctor, an experienced one, to check if it is hand, foot, and mouth disease, and then determine if treatment is needed. Usually, it is recommended to let the child drink more water, rest, and avoid fatigue and catching a cold. Observe the child closely to see if the condition persists. Generally, this issue is not very serious.
