Question
Are the small red spots that appear with hand, foot, and mouth disease very serious?
Answer
The small red spots that reappear with hand, foot, and mouth disease are usually not very serious, but they may be accompanied by other symptoms such as fever or oral ulcers. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common infectious disease in children that typically resolves on its own. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and providing proper care. In severe cases, medical intervention may be required. Prevention measures include maintaining good personal hygiene and avoiding crowded places during outbreaks.
