Patient's question:
Yesterday I noticed some small red rashes on my child's palms, and there might be red rashes on the soles of their feet. I thought hand, foot, and mouth disease should also include high fever and mouth ulcers. But to my surprise, this morning when I checked my child's temperature, it was a bit abnormal at 37.5 degrees. I felt quite upset. Fortunately, the mouth condition is still okay for now. Could this be hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral illness characterized by fever, hand, foot, and mouth sores, with the exception of red rashes around the anus. It cannot be ruled out as hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hospitals can also treat it. If it is not severe, many antibiotics and antiviral medications can be taken at home, and fever can be reduced with fever-reducing drugs. The doctor asks: Does the child have red rashes around the anus? The child is affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to prevent the indiscriminate use of small advertisements for drugs. Proper medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in their child's symptoms and help them receive timely treatment for the disease as much as possible.
