Question
My baby is two and a half years old. She had a fever for a day two days ago, complaining of toothache and couldn’t eat dinner. Last night, she had small red dots on her hands, feet, and body, but they were gone this morning. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
If the child is currently not experiencing any discomfort, it should not be considered hand, foot, and mouth disease. First, carefully observe the child and follow the situation you described. I suggest you let your child drink plenty of hot water and observe. If there is no fever, there’s no need to worry. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. If family members notice any symptoms in the child, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for a diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child’s diet and nutrition. It is recommended to maintain balanced digestion of body nutrients in daily life. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
