Patient's question:
What is the difference between hand, foot, and mouth disease and roseola in children?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease and roseola are both caused by viral infections and are acute infectious diseases. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is transmitted through droplets, air, saliva, and chills, making it a respiratory infectious disease. The main symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are blisters on the palms, soles, and oral mucosa. For treatment, both hand, foot, and mouth disease and roseola are treated with antiviral therapy, and ribavirin can be used for both.
