Patient's question:
Yesterday morning, I helped my two-year-old wash his face. He said it hurt (he doesn't speak much, so I don't know if it was real pain or not), so I took a closer look at his hand and noticed about a dozen red rashes. I took him to the children's hospital to see a doctor, but there were none on his feet or buttocks. The doctor said to wait and see, gave him some Shuanghuanglian oral liquid to take home, and he wasn't sneezing or coughing. I don't understand. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the recurrence of these symptoms in the baby is more likely to be caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease, primarily due to a viral infection. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a blood test to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the results of the examination, follow the doctor's advice for timely symptomatic treatment to ensure a quick recovery and prevent further infection. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children, so it is advised that family members take the child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily care, it is important to provide the child with sufficient attention and care, paying close attention to their diet. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
