Question
A 10-year-old male child has been slightly feverish recently, with small red spots on his palms and in his mouth. What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease in babies?
Answer
These symptoms may not necessarily indicate hand, foot, and mouth disease; they could also be a case of infantile roseola. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a definitive diagnosis and treatment. Hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily presents with rash, sore throat, fever, cough, and rapid breathing. Antiviral medications should be taken orally to alleviate symptoms, with a good prognosis. Good personal hygiene and proper care should be maintained in daily life.
