Patient's question:
My baby has been crying a lot recently. We suspect he might have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Is enterovirus general positive the same as hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Enterovirus general positive is considered to be hand, foot, and mouth disease, which is more common in infants and young children and is closely related to the child's hygiene habits. It mainly manifests as blisters and ulcers on the hands, feet, and mouth, accompanied by symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and cough. Most cases are curable, and with active treatment, full recovery can be achieved. However, a small number of children may experience severe complications again, leading to viral pneumonia or viral encephalitis, which requires close attention and standardized treatment.
