Question
My baby is under 18 weeks old and has recently developed red spots on their face. There were four spots on the forehead before, and now there are also some on the cheeks. The highest temperature was 37.6°C, usually around 37.2°C. There are also a few spots on the hands. I would like to inquire about this situation?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, hand, foot, and mouth disease cannot be ruled out. Since your baby has developed rashes on their hands, it’s advisable to check if there are any rashes on their feet as well. If there are ulcers in the mouth, it’s more likely to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. Please take your baby to the hospital as soon as possible for a check-up to confirm the diagnosis and begin treatment. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a speedy recovery!
