Question
Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease, and how should it be treated?
Answer
These symptoms in children are likely to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to take the child to a local more official hospital’s infectious diseases department for a detailed examination and diagnosis. A blood test may be required. If diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is important to isolate the child to prevent contact with other children to avoid cross-infection, as the infection rate is very high. Also, pay attention to the child’s personal hygiene. It is not severe and does not require special treatment; it will naturally recover in about 7 to 15 days.
