Patient's question:
Hello, my child is 5 years old and has hand, foot, and mouth disease. The doctor who tested the blood said it was mild. After taking medicine for a few days, it healed. My older daughter is 7 years old, and she had a fever again the day before yesterday. She felt nauseous and vomited. The first day she had a fever, she ate ice cream. The doctor who tested the blood said it wasn't hand, foot, and mouth disease. At the time, we were also worried, so we had her receive intravenous fluids for two days. Today is the third day without fluids. Tonight while taking a bath, she said her buttocks hurt. There was a blister and a few red spots, and part of her tongue was rotten. There were no blisters or red spots on her hands and feet. Hello, could she have hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that your child, who is five years old, has already been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Although he has recovered after treatment, he may still have transmitted it to your older daughter. Currently, your older daughter has developed a fever, nausea, and dry vomiting for more than a day. Blisters and red spots have been found around her anus, and her tongue is also sore. This indicates that she has still been infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to provide intravenous treatment following the care guidelines for hand, foot, and mouth disease!
