Patient's question:
Today I took my child to the hospital. The hospital confirmed that my child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, but there are no red rashes on my child's hands and feet, only red rashes in the mouth.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a relatively common illness, so there's no need to worry. It's caused by a viral infection, and in the early stages, it won't be as obvious, with symptoms appearing on both hands and feet. For children with this condition, a few days of antiviral medication should be sufficient. As long as there are no complications like high fever or cough, it will usually improve within about seven days.Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be quite harmful to children, so it's recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance for care. In daily life, it's okay to give the child some juice, which can aid digestion, provide vitamins, and help prevent stomach issues. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
