Question
Recently, my baby has developed many small blisters on her hands and feet, and she also has mouth ulcers. She isn’t eating or sleeping well during her afternoon nap. This is the first time this has happened to her. I took her to a pediatric hospital, and the doctor said she has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. Therefore, I would like to inquire about the symptoms and treatment methods for this condition.
Answer
Hello, Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a common infectious disease among children. The typical symptoms include fever, followed by the appearance of red blisters on the skin of the hands, feet, buttocks, and mouth one to two days after the fever starts. The symptoms are quite distinctive, making diagnosis relatively straightforward. Treatment primarily involves symptomatic relief and antiviral therapy, although its effectiveness may vary. Treatment with Baiwei granules can be considered as well. The above information can serve as a reference.
