Is a rash in the mouth a hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

The other day, I noticed about ten to twenty red spots on my buttocks. This morning, I found one spot in my mouth and another one by the corner of my mouth. There are no spots elsewhere. It's not swollen, but I felt a bit itchy before taking my afternoon nap. Could a spot in the mouth be hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, hand, foot, and mouth disease is currently not considered. It is recommended to pay close attention and observe carefully for now. Taking many Sanhuang tablets and similar medications is generally not a major issue. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. Once a mom discovers her child's symptoms, she should promptly take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's diet and follow a proper diet, avoiding cold foods. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
