Question
A one-and-a-half-year-old child, after being treated for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease and recovering one week later, contracted bronchitis. During the treatment period, the child developed a small amount of white blisters in the mouth. Does this mean that Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease has recurred?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an infectious disease caused by the Coxsackievirus, characterized by blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, commonly seen in infants and toddlers. It is usually a mild and self-limiting illness. If a child exhibits abnormal symptoms in the mouth during treatment for other diseases, it is recommended to undergo diagnosis and treatment under a doctor’s guidance. The diet should be light, and the child’s condition should be closely monitored to ensure their health.
