Question
What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily manifests as blisters on the palms, soles, buttocks, and mouth, possibly accompanied by symptoms such as fever and cough. Stomatitis only appears in the mouth with blisters, and is accompanied by symptoms like drooling and fever. Painful bowel movements and decreased appetite are also common symptoms. If you notice these symptoms in your child, it is advisable to take them to the hospital for treatment immediately and pay attention to their care. It is recommended to provide your child with a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods to help them recover quickly.
