Question
The baby suddenly started to have a fever today and is covered in small blisters all over. How can you diagnose whether the baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
The baby has had a fever for 1 day without any other abnormal symptoms, so it is not yet possible to diagnose hand, foot, and mouth disease. Parents should monitor the baby’s temperature and provide anti-infection treatment. If the baby has blisters inside the mouth and rashes on the skin, accompanied by fever and other symptoms, consider the possibility of hand, foot, and mouth disease and actively seek anti-infection and fever-reducing treatment. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children. Once symptoms are detected, take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately and pay attention to the baby’s diet. It is recommended to have appropriate nutrition and avoid cold foods to help provide symptomatic treatment and assist in recovery.
