Patient's question:
I noticed some small red bumps on my daughter's buttocks when I changed her clothes last night. Then I saw the same thing on my hands and feet, and some of them had white blisters. But my daughter isn't feverish and is in excellent spirits. Could this be hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's condition is highly likely to be infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease does not necessarily accompany fever or poor spirits; generally, only severe cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease are accompanied by serious systemic symptoms. It is important to prevent contact with others, as hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute infectious disease. Wash hands frequently and maintain good indoor air circulation. In addition to treatment, pay attention to maintaining sleep, as adequate sleep will help you recover quickly from the illness.
