Patient's question:
My son had a high fever a few days ago and has been in a low mood ever since. Even when I take him out to play, he lacks energy. Additionally, I noticed some small red spots on his palms, similar to rashes. So, I would like to ask if this could be hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The current situation is not considered symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Blood tests can be conducted for confirmation. Proper fever reduction measures should be taken, along with increased fluid intake. Skin symptoms should be closely monitored, and adequate rest is essential. Treatment should be based on test results, and if necessary, antiviral medication can be administered to control symptoms. Avoid consuming allergenic and irritating foods, and do not expose yourself to wind. Monitoring the body's recovery will contribute to overall health.
