Question
A one-year-old girl recently developed blisters on her hands and feet, accompanied by itching. Could this be a symptom of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease typically manifests as red spots on the hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks, which may be accompanied by fever and poor mental state. It is recommended that parents conduct a detailed observation to check if the child has similar symptoms in other parts. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral infection, and treatment mainly involves antiviral therapy and observation. In daily life, it is particularly important to pay attention to the child’s dietary hygiene, ensuring that they wash their hands before meals to prevent viral infection.
