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 in the afternoon on July 16th.
History of treatment and effectiveness:

What kind of help is needed:
Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described: Hand, foot, and mouth disease generally manifests as maculopapules and vesicles appearing on the palms, soles, and buttocks, as well as vesicles and/or ulcers on the oral mucosa. Please observe carefully—most children develop these symptoms during a fever, and the red rashes on their bodies are likely caused by a viral infection. Treatment can include oral ribavirin, Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, and other medications.
