Symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease on the fourth day

Hand, foot and mouth disease is a relatively serious disease in children. If a child suffers from hand, foot and mouth disease, he or she must be isolated in time and prevented from going to crowded places, because hand, foot and mouth disease is very easy to infect. Some children cause a lot of unnecessary trouble after infecting others. The symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease are obvious. Parents can discover and deal with them in time to ensure safety. So, what are the symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease on the fourth day?

1. Common symptoms

As the name suggests, the most obvious symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease appear on the hands, feet and mouth. Herpes similar in size and color to rice grains will appear in these three affected areas. Children can feel pain, and some children may also develop blisters on the buttocks or anus.

The children may also have symptoms such as low-grade fever (around 38°C) and rash, but they are usually not serious and will recover naturally within 1-2 weeks without any sequelae. Continuous low-grade fever may cause the baby to experience loss of appetite, dizziness, headache, etc., and may also have symptoms such as coughing and runny nose from time to time.

2. Symptoms of severe cases

A very small number of children with hand, foot and mouth disease will develop complications of the respiratory, nervous or circulatory systems. Among the more serious symptoms are meningitis, encephalomyelitis, myocarditis, pulmonary edema, circulatory failure, etc.

Symptoms of respiratory problems are very obvious. The baby's lung function deteriorates, breathing becomes rapid or difficult, and symptoms similar to suffocation may occur. In severe cases, the baby may foam at the mouth or spit blood.

Babies whose nervous systems are affected will become distracted, suffer from nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, etc., and have some uncontrollable limb reactions, such as convulsions and weakness in the limbs, etc. In severe cases, they may suffer from cerebral edema, brain hernia, etc.

Although abnormalities in the circulatory system are less obvious, they should still be given sufficient attention. If you find that your baby starts to have cold limbs, pale face, and irregular heartbeat, you should take him to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Although severe cases of hand, foot and mouth disease rarely occur, we have to take precautions since there is such a possibility. If the baby is infected with the virus, mothers must not let their guard down and must observe the child's condition at all times. If there is any abnormality, the child must be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.
