Doctor's answer:

Hello: Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, which often occurs in children under the age of 5. It can cause blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, accompanied by fever. If there are no complications, it usually improves within about 7 days. Currently, if the child only has red spots on their hands and a fever, it cannot yet be confirmed as this disease. For now, careful observation is still needed. However, you can give them antiviral medication like oral antiviral liquid and Pudilan. For the red spots on their hands, calamine lotion can be used. If the fever is below 38.5°C, you can give them a fever-reducing medication. If it is above this temperature, physical cooling methods can be used. During this time, it is important to drink more water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
