Question
My child has been saying that his feet have been uncomfortable for the past two days, and today he mentioned that his mouth also feels uncomfortable. I checked and saw some sores inside his mouth, and he said they hurt a lot. Can hand, foot, and mouth disease cause itching? His feet are very itchy now. My husband and I are very worried, and we took him to get a thorough check-up. I am feeling very upset.
Answer
Due to individual constitution and variations in the condition, the clinical manifestations of hand, foot, and mouth disease can differ. If a child develops rashes or blisters on their hands, feet, or inside their mouth, accompanied by itching, they may have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Additionally, fever is often present with hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to bring the child to a regular hospital’s pediatric department for a check-up and diagnosis by a doctor, and follow the treatment suggestions provided by the doctor.
