Question
My child has several blisters on their feet and hands, and after a thorough check at the hospital, it was diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease. I would like to ask if the treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease is half price?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is not half price. In the early stages, it may have mild symptoms of the common cold. It is prevalent in the summer. The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are that they develop quickly. There is a low fever, and in the mouth there are small ulcers the size of rice grains, which are very painful. The ulcers are round or oval in shape and raised, with cloudy liquid inside, and their long axis is parallel to the skin texture. It is advisable to give your baby bland liquid or semi-liquid food to eat, and avoid cold, spicy, salty, and other stimulating foods. The lesions on the hands, feet, and mouth may not all appear in the same patient. The blisters and rash usually disappear within a week.
