Question
I discovered about ten to twenty red rashes on my buttocks two days ago. This morning, I found a single rash in my mouth and another one at the corner of my mouth. There are no rashes elsewhere. I didn’t have a fever, and I was a bit restless before taking my afternoon nap. Could a single rash in the mouth indicate hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on your description, hand, foot, and mouth disease is not currently considered. It is recommended to closely observe the situation and use some San Huang tablets and similar medications in moderation. Generally, there should not be any major issues. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. Therefore, if any related symptoms are detected in a child, it is important to take them to a regular hospital for a consultation promptly. Pay special attention to the child’s dietary issues and adjust the diet accordingly, avoiding cold foods. It is hoped that the child can receive effective treatment and recover soon!
