Question
Diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease yesterday. Had an injection all day, and now have red spots all over my body. What’s going on?
Answer
Based on the patient’s description, it’s possible that the rash is a result of an allergic reaction to the medication. It is advised to go to the hospital immediately and ensure the patient drinks plenty of water and wears loose cotton clothing. If breastfeeding, the mother should avoid consuming cold, spicy, or irritating foods.
