Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

The above conditions in children cannot be diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease solely based on blood tests. It is necessary to observe the symptoms, primarily rashes on the bones, buttocks, and other areas, as well as oral ulcers. In general, severe cases may also progress rapidly without rashes.
1. If the child has a fever without other symptoms, it is first considered to be an upper respiratory infection.
2. First, go to the hospital for a complete blood count test. If it indicates a bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used.
3. Severe hand, foot, and mouth disease generally occurs in children under 3 years old. Within 24 hours of onset, it may be possible to have no rashes, but the child may be in poor spirits, vomiting dryly, and exhibit encephalitis-like symptoms.
4. For fever, symptomatic treatment is sufficient. As long as the child is in good spirits, there is generally no major issue. It is important to actively seek medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment.
