Patient's question:
Feeling well, I don't eat much and have normal bowel movements. The child is good at knowing how to help you. You have had bubbles in your mouth in the past. What was the treatment and its effect? The doctor said it was oral inflammation, but I don't know if it is hand, foot, and mouth disease. I would like to ask the doctor for help.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease manifests as recurrent blisters on the palms, soles, buttocks, and mouth, without pain or itching, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as feverish cough. Oral ulcers generally only appear as blisters in the mouth, accompanied by symptoms like feverish drooling. Especially when there is pain during defecation, it may indicate poor appetite. These characteristics can help differentiate between the two conditions. Both are caused by viral infections, and treatment is primarily based on antiviral therapy. Diagnosis can only be confirmed through blood tests. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm 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 the child's care. It is recommended to follow a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect the condition. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
