Patient's question:
Doctor, due to the extremely cold weather, I haven't been able to bathe the baby for the past two days. Today, when I gave him a bath, I noticed many small blisters on his feet, and they are still red. Here, I would like to ask: Is it possible that the baby's skin condition could be hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
In the case of the baby, it is possible that herpes has reappeared. It is recommended to pay close attention and carefully monitor the baby's temperature changes. This situation can first be considered a viral infection, but whether it is hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is necessary to take the child to the pediatric department of the hospital for blood tests and other examinations. After the doctor identifies the cause, follow the doctor's advice for treatment. If there is a viral infection, it will be necessary to use a variety of antiviral medications and many heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicines for treatment.
