Patient's question:
On the hands, feet, and buttocks, there are none, only a few on the mouth and tip of the tongue. Does having red rashes on the mouth and tip of the tongue belong to hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to assist you. Your child's condition does not resemble hand, foot, and mouth disease; it seems to be herpes. It is recommended to pay attention to your child's diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and get adequate rest. You may consult to see if there are any antiviral medications that can be taken. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. Once parents notice their child's symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's care, including proper diet and avoiding cold foods. We hope your child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
