Question
I noticed about ten to twenty red rashes on my buttocks two days ago. This morning, I found a rash in my mouth, and there’s one on the corner of my mouth as well. There are no other rashes, no fever, and I was a bit restless before taking my afternoon nap. Could a rash in the mouth indicate hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on your description, hand, foot, and mouth disease is not currently considered. It is recommended to carefully observe for now. Taking many medications like San Huang Wan is generally fine. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. If the mother notices any symptoms in the child, she should take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, pay close attention to the child’s diet. It is suggested to have proper nutrition, avoid cold food, and hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
