Does hand, foot, and mouth disease require a blood test?

Patient's question:

My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. I plan to take them for a thorough examination tomorrow. Hello, is a urine test required for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease, mainly determined by the specific symptoms of the patient. It is also necessary to conduct a blood test to help confirm the diagnosis. In patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease, the blood test may show elevated lymphocyte levels, which primarily indicate a viral infection. Oral antiviral medications should be used in conjunction with topical antiviral creams for treatment.
