Question
If a child develops blisters on their body, could they have hand, foot, and mouth disease? How should one respond?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common infectious disease affecting children under the age of 6, which can be transmitted through contact. If a child has blisters on their palms, along with blisters on the soles of their feet and in the mouth, it is advisable to go to the hospital’s infectious disease department for diagnosis. Parents should immediately take their child to the doctor to avoid treatment errors and receive timely symptomatic treatment. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and provide necessary support and care.
