Question
The child has been crying and fussing a lot recently, and after examination, no abnormalities were found. Is this a sign of early hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
The main symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include mouth pain, loss of appetite, low fever, and the appearance of blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. This disease is contagious, so patients need to be isolated and environmental hygiene should be maintained to prevent cross-infection. If diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, treatment should be initiated early to avoid severe complications. In terms of diet, light and easily digestible foods should be provided.
