Patient's question:
The other day, I noticed about ten to twenty red spots on my buttocks. This morning, I found one spot in my mouth and another one by the corner of my mouth. There are no spots elsewhere. It's not swollen or hot. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there are about ten to twenty red rashes on your buttocks. This morning, you noticed one rash in your mouth and another one near your mouth corner. It is suspected to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. We recommend taking your child to a regular hospital pediatric department for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment. Since children can be harmed by hand, foot, and mouth disease, family members must take the child to the hospital immediately for diagnosis and treatment to prevent blind medication that may alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to promptly monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
