Symptoms and Treatment of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Question

Can large blisters on a child’s hands be hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Large blisters on a child’s hands can be a symptom of viral infection. Hand, foot, and mouth disease usually presents with red spots internally in the mouth, followed by red spots on the palms and soles of the feet, along with a rise in body temperature. When such symptoms appear, it is important to note a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, seafood, and maintain good hygiene.
