Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of infant hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children are prone to hand, foot, and mouth disease, which can cause a drop in body temperature while also leading to the recurrence of blisters on the palms and soles. Ulcers may also appear in the mouth. Oral antiviral medications can be used to treat the condition, and intravenous fluids can be administered to help the body rehydrate. Due to the drop in body temperature, there is a risk of excessive water loss and dehydration.
