Question
A parent inquires about their child potentially having hand, foot, and mouth disease. The child has red rashes on their lower and upper legs, accompanied by a runny nose, but maintains good spirits and appetite. Their bowel movements are slightly loose.
Answer
The physician responds that the child’s symptoms are not indicative of hand, foot, and mouth disease. They advise taking the child to the hospital for examination, where a professional physician can make a diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment.
