Rash on the texture of the child’s hands? The director of Yang Jinghua told the editors of Family Doctor Online that pediatric hand, foot and mouth disease is actually a disease characterized by fever, rash on the hands and feet, herpes or herpes in the pharynx after infection with an intestinal virus, and common symptoms include fever, rash on the hands and feet, and the rash on the hands and feet is often characterized by herpes. The rash in pediatric HFMD is characterized by a rash that grows along the longitudinal texture of the palms and feet, and sometimes also some herpes with blisters in the pharyngopalatine arch, soft palate, and posterior pharyngeal wall. During the high season of HFMD, if you find that your child has a painless rash on the hands and feet, suddenly has a fever, and refuses to eat, you should be alert to the possibility that your child has been infected with the HFMD virus. “When herpes appears in the throat, the child will feel pain, and the immediate reaction to this pain is refusal to eat.” Director Yang Jinghua said parents should be alert when these symptoms appear. What is the difference between pediatric hand, foot and mouth disease and chicken pox or eczema? But the rash symptoms of pediatric hand, mouth and foot disease are similar to eczema or chickenpox, how should parents identify them? Yang Jinghua, director of this question, explained the difference between the rash of pediatric hand, foot and mouth and eczema or chickenpox. 1, the location of the rash is different Eczema is not only concentrated in the hands or feet, elbows, hands, feet, face may have, while pediatric hand, foot and mouth often appear in the hands and feet area and the pharynx. 2, the form is different Eczema manifests as flushing of the skin, the skin may appear vesicles or oozing, maculopapular rash and other changes, accompanied by significant itching. The rash of hand, foot and mouth is mainly herpes, at first may be red dots, but slowly appear blistered herpes, and the rash grows with the horizontal lines towards growth. 3, the distribution pattern is different Although the rash of children’s hand, foot and mouth will be strong in the elbow joint, and even hip, knee, torso, but hand, foot and mouth rash is eccentric, that is, is distributed at the ends of the limbs, while the growth of chicken pox is centripetal, that is, the distribution of the trunk position is dominant. In addition, director Yang Jinghua told the editors of Family Doctor Online that she thinks parents should pay attention to the fact that herpes cheek infection and hand, foot and mouth disease are actually caused by the same type of viral infection, parents usually mistakenly believe that they are two different diseases, in fact, the treatment and healing of both are the same, but herpes concentrated in the cheeks, hand, foot and mouth disease is distributed in the hands and cheeks. How to prevent HFMD?
