Question
My child suddenly developed some blisters on their mouth, and the doctor said it’s Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. What is Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, primarily based on the Coxsackie virus. It commonly occurs in children under five years old, and its main symptoms include low fever and small blisters on the palms and soles of the feet. Pay attention to your child’s body temperature, and if there is a recurrence of high fever, actively treat the fever. Additionally, ensure your child’s diet is light and easy to digest.
