Question

Blisters have appeared on my baby’s hands and feet, and recently they’ve also started appearing on the back. There is no fever or vomiting, and appetite may not decrease. The blisters heal on their own after a few days but keep recurring. The affected areas are not red or swollen. Could it be hand, foot, and mouth disease? What is the treatment method?

Answer

The typical symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever and rash, appearing on the skin of both palms, soles, and buttocks. Severe cases may present with symptoms like jumping, limb tremors, headache, and vomiting. Mild cases can be treated with oral antiviral medications such as Pudelin Anti-Inflammatory Oral Liquid, Qiaoji Oral Liquid, Ribavirin Granules, and ribavirin spray for the throat. Severe cases require hospitalization.
