My son came back from kindergarten with a slight fever. I took his temperature and it was 37 degrees. I used alcohol to wipe his hands and feet, and discovered a red bump on his hand during the process. There’s also a blister on his mouth corner, but not inside the mouth. I want to confirm if it’s hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a common infectious disease in children under 5 years old, primarily caused by enteroviruses. Symptoms include blisters and rash on the hands, feet, and mouth, with severe cases potentially accompanied by fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. There is no specific food that can prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease, but maintaining good personal hygiene habits, frequent hand washing, and avoiding contact with infected individuals are important measures for preventing transmission. If children exhibit related symptoms, they should seek medical attention promptly and follow medical instructions for treatment.
