Question
My child is three years old, and recently when I took her for a check-up, it was found that she had contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. I want to ask if hand, foot, and mouth disease causes pain?
Answer
According to the child’s condition, hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease that usually appears as vesicular rashes on the palms, soles, oral cavity, and buttocks. If the rash appears in the oral cavity, it is accompanied by painful symptoms. However, when the rash appears on the palms, soles, and buttocks, it usually does not cause pain but may feel uncomfortable during the outbreak. Hand, foot, and mouth disease typically requires antiviral treatment and attention to drinking plenty of water and consuming light foods.
