Is it normal for children with hand, foot, and mouth disease to develop blisters on their hands and feet?

Patient's question:

My son has hand, foot, and mouth disease now, and the symptoms are a few small white spots on his hands, feet, and mouth. He has already received specific treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease at the hospital. Could you ask if it's normal for the child to have blisters on their hands and feet with hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

During the prevalence of hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is advisable to minimize children's visits to public places to reduce the chance of infection. In terms of treatment, oral antiviral liquids and various vitamins can be taken. Hand, foot, and mouth disease often recurs after the initial illness, with vesicular rashes appearing simultaneously on multiple parts of the body. It is essential to pay attention to hygiene, maintain oral cleanliness, ensure indoor ventilation and appropriate temperature, consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and frequently clean children's belongings. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
