Patient's question:
Pediatrician, I want to ask you a question. Three days ago, my child developed some small white blisters on his hands, feet, and inside his mouth, and he said they are very itchy. Is my child suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease or oral ulcers due to internal heat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. Patients may develop on the oral mucosa and skin of hands and feet. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as fever and lymphocyte elevation. Mouth ulcers are breaks in the oral mucosa, accompanied by pain. The treatment methods for these two diseases are also different. Specific differential diagnosis requires a doctor's examination at the hospital.
