Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could it be hand, foot, and mouth disease? How can you tell?Doctor's answer:
The general clinical manifestations of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children are as follows: recurrence of herpes in the oral and pharyngeal cavity, drooling at the corners of the mouth, recurrence of herpes on the skin of the palms, soles, buttocks, and other parts of the body. In more severe cases, neurological symptoms may also recur. It is recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for examination to check for recurrence of herpes in the mouth and other parts of the body. It is best to have blood tests to detect enterovirus 71.
