Patient's question:
The first time I noticed some blisters on my child's mouth, the doctor said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease. What is hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, what you mentioned should be hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enterovirus infection, primarily based on Coxsackie virus, and commonly occurs in children under the age of five. The main symptoms are low fever and small blisters on the palms and soles. Pay close attention to the child's temperature, and take active fever-reducing measures if high fever occurs. Additionally, the child's diet should be light.
