Question
A child has developed blisters on their hands and feet three days ago for an unknown reason. They have not been in contact with the outside world and have received two injections of intramuscular protein treatment. The parents have noticed a new blister appearing each day and are worried, asking if it could be hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. Blisters on a child’s hands and feet can be caused by various reasons, including mosquito bites, chickenpox, or hand, foot, and mouth disease. Based on the description, the child has already shown symptoms and is not in the incubation period. It is recommended that parents take their child to a dermatology or pediatrics department for diagnosis. At the same time, attention should be paid to personal hygiene and dietary hygiene to prevent the spread of the disease.
