Question

Does having red rashes on a child’s hands indicate hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Based on the parent’s description, the child has red rashes on their hands and has been taken to a pediatric hospital for consultation. The doctor recommended observation and the administration of Shuanghuanglian oral liquid. Since the child has not had a runny nose or cough, the parent is confused. Is this situation indicative of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
