Patient's question:
Large areas of itching, redness, and symptoms similar to being bitten by mosquitoes are present, mainly concentrated on the back, armpits, inner thighs, and legs (but less on the legs). Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease? What is the expected diagnosis for hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is characterized by the recurrence of rashes or blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. It is painless and itchy. If there are no rashes or blisters on the hands, feet, or mouth, it cannot be definitively diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease. You should consider your child's allergies. Antiallergic treatment can be implemented. Your child can take chlorpheniramine and levocetirizine for antiallergic treatment. Cough may also be related to allergies. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. Once a mother notices her child's symptoms, she should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, she should pay close attention to her child's diet. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet to nourish the body. We hope that the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
