Patient's question:
Eighteen years old, there are small bumps the size of beans on the legs and buttocks, itchy. The pharynx is red, looks like ulcers, no small bumps on the bones. After applying calamine lotion, the bumps will gradually and completely disappear. Also, a few days ago, there was a fever. In recent days, there is no fever, and the mental state is very good. Please allow the doctor to make a conjecture. Give an accurate conjecture result.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The source of infection for this disease is the patient, with patients, asymptomatic carriers, and those with silent infections being the main sources of transmission during outbreaks. During an outbreak, patients are the primary source of infection. Antiviral drugs are most effective when used 24 to 48 hours before the onset of symptoms. However, by the time we diagnose hand, foot, and mouth disease, the most effective treatment window has often passed, and the use of these antiviral medications is no longer recommended. The above advice is for the question "Ask the doctor if it could be hand, foot, and mouth disease," and we hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
