Patient's question:
Son said to me these two days that his stomach hurts, and he found that his hands and mouth have many small bumps, suspecting it's hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hello, does hand, foot, and mouth disease cause stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
If the child experiences abdominal pain again, it is generally not related to hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily involves the recurrence of blisters on the hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks, and may also be accompanied by a fever, but it generally does not cause abdominal pain. In the case of blisters on the child's hands or mouth, it is necessary to promptly conduct a check-up to determine the nature of the blisters. Generally, hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily involves blisters inside the mouth, not blisters on the mouth itself.
