Is chickenpox in the throat hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

My brother got hand, foot, and mouth disease. I have a fever and a sore throat. I noticed many spots in my throat, some like chickenpox, but they're not. Am I getting hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

If there are no problems with your hands and feet, it is not hand, foot, and mouth disease, and it should be a viral infection. You can take antiviral medication for treatment. It is recommended to take the medication together for better results, and you must drink plenty of water. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children, so it is advised that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance for care. In daily life, you can provide the child with enough care and attention, pay close attention to their dietary needs, and hope that the child can recover as soon as possible!
