Question
A 2-year-old child had a fever first and then white spots appeared in their mouth. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Your situation likely resembles a common cold. It is recommended to take some cooling and detoxifying medicine like banlangen, and pay attention to eating a light diet, avoiding spicy foods, getting plenty of rest, and staying hydrated. Each evening, soak your feet in hot water and rinse your mouth with a saltwater solution after meals to maintain oral hygiene.
