Question
My baby is 18 months old. After a week of treatment for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, she was infected with bronchitis again. During the treatment period, it seems like there are a few white blisters in my baby’s mouth. Is this a recurrence of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an infectious disease caused by the Coxsackie virus, characterized by blisters on the hands, feet, and in the mouth. This condition is most common in infants and young children. Since the disease is self-limiting, treatment typically focuses on symptom relief and close monitoring. It’s advisable to follow a doctor’s guidance during treatment and opt for a light diet.
