Patient's question:
Several blisters have appeared on Xiao Bao's hands, and he doesn't know what the illness is. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease if there are several blisters on the hands?Doctor's answer:
General hand, foot, and mouth disease is usually caused by infection with the Coxsackie virus or the enterovirus 71 (EV71), which manifests as blisters in the mouth and on the soles of the feet, often accompanied by fever. Currently, if there are no other discomfort symptoms and no blisters in the mouth or on the feet, it may not necessarily be hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is important to carefully monitor the situation.If a child is suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, the mother must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help them receive timely treatment for the illness.
