Patient's question:
The baby has been feeling a bit unwell these days, not eating dinner much, and not playing around either. Today, he kept pointing to his mouth, saying it hurts, and I noticed he had blisters in his mouth. I went to the hospital to check, and the doctor only prescribed Bingpeng Powder. I couldn’t trust it, so I searched online, and it seems similar to hand, foot, and mouth disease. I’m not sure, but I’d like to ask you, what are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are fever, red blisters on the palms and soles, except for the throat. Sometimes, when the throat is inflamed, it may also have follicles. However, if the throat is inflamed, there are no blisters on the palms and soles, which can also help distinguish it. Since your child has already been taken to the hospital, if the doctor hasn't confirmed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease, there's no need to worry too much. Not all peeling is hand, foot, and mouth disease.
