Question
Small red bumps have appeared on my hands and feet, as well as on my buttocks and in my mouth. There are also ulcers in my mouth. These symptoms have been present for two days, and I only discovered them today. Are these typical symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease typically begins with a fever, followed by the appearance of macules or papules on the mucous membranes and skin of the mouth, hands, feet, and buttocks. These symptoms mainly affect the hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks and usually do not cause pain, itching, scabbing, or leave scars. Treatment methods vary depending on the severity of the condition, and parents should immediately take their child to the hospital for treatment rather than self-medicating with uncertain medications. Parents should carefully observe their child’s symptoms and seek medical attention promptly to ensure proper medication use. Thank you for your inquiry.
