Patient's question:
5 My baby is one and a half years old. The treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease lasted for a week, and then he got bronchopneumonia again. During the treatment, it seems that a small amount of white blisters have appeared in my baby's mouth again. Is it a recurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by the Coxsackie virus, characterized by blisters appearing on the hands, feet, and mouth. This disease is mild and self-limiting, most commonly occurring in infants and young children. Since the disease is self-limiting, treatment typically involves symptomatic management and close monitoring for severe cases. It is recommended to seek medical guidance for treatment, and a light diet is advisable.
