Question
My baby has a shiny bubble on their lip, and their hands and feet haven’t shown any signs. I’m worried it might be hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s symptoms do not appear to be hand, foot, and mouth disease but could be due to diarrhea causing a bubble on the lip. The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include persistent fever, blisters in the oral cavity and throat, as well as on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. It’s advised not to worry too much. You can apply some red mold ointment to the child for a few days and give them some fire-clearing medicine. Also, ensure your baby drinks plenty of water these days and avoids eating fish, shrimp, and greasy, hard-to-digest foods.
