Patient's question:
The baby seems to be infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease, with a sore throat and mouth pain. What are the initial symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the hand, foot, and mouth virus. It frequently occurs in the spring, affecting children under the age of eight. Initial symptoms are similar to a sore throat, with blisters, swollen tonsils, and irregular fever. If a child is not feeling well, has poor appetite, dry throat pain, and a fever, it is necessary to take them to the hospital for follow-up treatment. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain adequate sleep, as sufficient rest can help you recover quickly from the illness.
