Question

How can one identify the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

The main symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include oral ulcers, red rashes on the palms and soles of the hands and feet, and possibly spots throughout the body. However, based on the description provided, your child’s symptoms do not seem to match those of hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for further examination and consider giving them antiviral medication and topical ointments. At the same time, ensure your child drinks plenty of water, consumes fruits and vegetables, and avoids high-fat and spicy foods.
