Question

Is a child’s fever with blisters on the nose a sign of hand, foot, and mouth disease? The child is over three years old and has lost appetite and lacks energy. The fever and blisters on the nose are only being treated with antipyretics. The fever returns after the medication wears off. Are these symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Hello, this condition is primarily caused by blisters resulting from fever and abdominal pain, not the rash of hand, foot, and mouth disease. You are currently treating the child’s fever with timely fever reduction treatment. Taking cooling and heat-clearing herbs can treat the blisters. Wishing for a speedy recovery. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children. It is recommended that family members take the child to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily life, it is important to provide enough care and attention to the child, pay close attention to their diet, and hope for a quick recovery!
