Question
My son is eight months old and has developed some things on his hands. I’m worried he might have Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, but I’m not sure how to confirm the condition.
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by a viral infection, characterized by red rashes appearing on the hands, feet, and inside the mouth, often accompanied by fever. To accurately confirm whether your child has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, it is recommended that you take them to a pediatrician at the hospital for diagnosis to avoid delaying treatment.
