Question
Are the red spots on my hands and the fever a sign of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease? What was the treatment and its outcome? What kind of help do I need?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, commonly affecting children under 5 years old. It can lead to blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth along with fever. Generally, without complications, it can heal within about 7 days. The presence of red spots on the hands and fever alone is not enough to confirm a diagnosis. It is recommended to observe the situation and use antiviral medications such as antiviral oral liquid and Pudendu Blue. For hand red spots, calamine lotion can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, a fever-reducing medicine can be administered; below this temperature, physical cooling methods should be adopted. At the same time, it is important to drink plenty of water and consume fresh fruits and vegetables.
