Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Symptoms in Newborns

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the typical symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are characterized by blisters on the oral mucosa, red rashes on the palms, soles, and buttocks, accompanied by fever, decreased appetite, poor spirits, and other manifestations. Based on the situation you described, it is highly likely that this disease is the cause, but further medical examination is still required to confirm the diagnosis. Additionally, this disease is often self-limiting, and symptomatic treatment is usually sufficient.
