Patient's question:
My child has never had any health issues since he was young, but recently I noticed some red rashes appearing on his hands and feet again, and he has also started to have a fever. I consulted online, and some people said it might be hand, foot, and mouth disease. I feel very upset, so I wanted to seek help. Is this really hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child is very likely to have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Therefore, it is recommended that you take the child to a standard Class III-A hospital pediatric department immediately for confirmation and treatment. Do not blindly give the child medication. When the parent is watching the child, they must be patient. Once any discomfort is noticed in the child, take them to the hospital for a thorough examination. When the child is sick, do not blindly give them medication.
