Question
If a child doesn’t have any rashes on their limbs or in their mouth, is it possible to have hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Since the child has not shown the typical rash of hand, foot, and mouth disease and only has oral sores and a fever, the possibility of hand, foot, and mouth disease is relatively low. Monitor the progression of the illness and continue to administer cooling and detoxifying medication. If symptoms worsen or other abnormalities occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In terms of diet, it is important to maintain a light and easy-to-digest diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to aid in the child’s recovery.
