Question
It’s currently the peak season for hand, foot, and mouth disease. My baby is feverish, and I’m worried about them having hand, foot, and mouth disease. I want to know the key features of doing a routine blood test.
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily presents with symptoms such as fever, cough, and sore throat, which may be accompanied by blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, as well as diarrhea. This is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses and requires timely antiviral and antipyretic treatment. Most symptoms are mild, but severe complications can also occur, so it is recommended to pay attention to treatment.
