Question
My child has sores in their mouth and small blisters on their hands; what is the issue?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your child may have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, common symptoms including oral ulcers and rashes or small blisters on the hands and feet. Treatment methods include using iodine solution to disinfect the mouth and skin, applying Baiduyang ointment topically, and possibly taking antibiotics. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene habits and drinking plenty of water can help improve the condition. If diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, immediate treatment should be sought, and follow the doctor’s other instructions, such as gastrointestinal decompression. Parents should also pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
