Question

My child has red dots. Could it be hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Based on the current situation and symptoms, it cannot be definitively determined whether it is hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to undergo a blood test for confirmation. Meanwhile, pay attention to cooling measures, drink plenty of water, closely observe skin symptoms, and ensure adequate rest. Treatment methods will be determined based on the test results, and antiviral symptom control may be adopted if necessary. Avoid eating irritant and spicy foods in the diet and avoid wind exposure. Closely monitor your child’s recovery as it is crucial for their health.
