Patient's question:
I have a friend's child who is 5 years old. Recently, the child has been feeling uncomfortable, and I don't know what's wrong. The child's hands have become red and developed small blisters. I want to ask the doctor if the symptoms of redness and small blisters on the hands and feet could be hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if it is hand, foot, and mouth disease, it will first appear as red spots inside the mouth. Then it will appear on the palms and soles of the hands and feet, with red spots inside. When this condition reappears, it will also be accompanied by fever symptoms. This is the condition that constitutes the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If it only involves hand pain and the formation of blisters, it should first be ruled out as a fungal infection.
