Doctor's answer:
Hello: Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by several types of enteroviruses, primarily affecting children under the age of 5. Hand, foot, and mouth disease often manifests as small grayish-white blisters or red papules, ranging in size from rice grains to green beans, with surrounding redness, appearing on areas such as the inner cheeks, tongue, soft palate, hard palate, inner lips, palms, soles, elbows, knees, buttocks, and groin. Use physiological saline to wash the child's face before and after meals;
