How to determine if it is hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

I have red rashes, but they are less severe on the palms and soles compared to the face. Everything else is normal.
I had a fever on the afternoon of July 16th.
History of treatment and effectiveness:
Fever has subsided.
What kind of help is needed:
Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described: Hand, foot, and mouth disease generally manifests as maculopapular rashes and vesicles on the palms, soles of the feet, and buttocks, as well as vesicles and/or ulcers on the oral mucosa. Please wait and see. Most children develop the above symptoms during a fever, and the red rashes on their bodies are likely caused by a viral infection. Oral medications such as ribavirin and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid can be used for treatment.
