Question
What are the characteristics of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, it should be an upper respiratory infection. If there are no blisters on the oral mucosa, throat area, palms of the hands, or soles of the feet, it is not hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, antiviral drugs, and antipyretics, and observe the condition. If you are not sure, you can bring your child to the hospital for a check-up, such as a complete blood count.
