Question
My child has recently been losing interest in eating and complaining of abdominal pain, with no appetite. Moreover, I’ve noticed that many small blisters have appeared on various parts of their hands and feet. Dear doctor, does this sound like hand, foot, and mouth disease? How should it be treated?
Answer
The current situation primarily suggests the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to visit the hospital for further examination. This mainly involves conducting blood tests to see if there are any signs of viral infection and to further clarify the symptoms. Treatment mainly involves using a variety of antiviral medications for nourishment, as hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily a manifestation of viral infection.
