Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a fever and took medicine to bring it down. At that time, I had red spots on my palms and mouth ulcers, which I also treated with medicine. The next day, I also developed red spots on my feet. The doctor said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease, but they didn't have a specialized department there. So, I went to People's Hospital for a check-up and had my blood tested. The results showed hemoglobin at 97g/L, and after picking up the medicine, we went home. The doctor asked me to carefully observe at home for a few days. In these past few days, I've been taking the medicine at home without any other symptoms. I've noticed that the small red spots on my hands and feet have become less red. Is this a good sign?Medical History and Treatment Effects:
Mouth ulcers, red spots on the palms and toes.
Could you please tell us if our current situation is improving or worsening? Is it mild or severe? What should we do next?
Doctor's answer:
From your description, the child's condition is due to a viral infection that has triggered hand, foot, and mouth disease, with the recurrence of rashes on the hands, feet, and inside the mouth. Based on your description and the treatment provided, your child's condition should be improving. It is recommended to closely monitor the child's temperature—provided there is no fever, there will be no serious adverse effects. Additionally, it is advised to administer oral antiviral liquids such as Ganoderma lucidum and other antiviral medications. For the mouth, applying (Xigua Shuang) can be effective. This approach should yield positive results.
