Question
My child has been acting up and crying non-stop lately. We’ve even gone to the hospital and had checks done, but nothing has helped. What symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease should I look out for in newborns?
Answer
The typical symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include blisters on the oral mucosa, red rashes on the palms, soles, buttocks, accompanied by fever, decreased appetite, and poor spirits. Based on these symptoms, your child may have hand, foot, and mouth disease. However, to confirm the diagnosis, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. Usually, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a self-limiting condition that can be relieved through symptomatic treatment.
