Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Hand-foot-mouth disease usually presents with vesicular rash on palms, soles, and ulcers in palate, mouth, and tongue with associated fever.

The spots on her skin and the distribution of these spots are not looking like this disease.

Physical examination is important to know and diagnose the problem.

I advise you to consult the pediatrician for the examination and for management of the child problem.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
