Patient's question:
My little nephew is 5 years old this year. In the past two days, some blisters have appeared on his hands, and they are also peeling. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but later they grew a bit more, and I became worried that he might have hand, foot, and mouth disease. I asked a doctor, what are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include red spots and blisters on the mouth, feet, buttocks, and hands, but these may not necessarily be symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. They could also be chickenpox or skin herpes. It is necessary to go to the hospital for examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Pay attention to the hygiene of children's skin. Avoid spicy and allergenic foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Chickenpox also needs timely treatment, as it is highly contagious and isolation treatment is recommended.
