Suspected hand, foot, and mouth disease, how to confirm

Patient's question:

5-month-old baby, discovered red spots on hands, feet, and buttocks yesterday, found 2 pus-filled sores in the mouth, no fever, in good spirits. If suspected of hand, foot, and mouth disease, how to confirm the diagnosis

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it is recommended to give the child oral antiviral medication in a timely manner, such as Pudilan. For oral ulcers, local treatments like iodine glycerin, Tin particles powder, or watermelon frost spray can be used. Pay attention to having the child drink more water and maintain personal hygiene! Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children. It is advised that parents take the child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digesting vitamins and preventing stomach problems. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
