Doctor's answer:
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, Oral BlistersHand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a contagious childhood illness also known as eruptive vesicular stomatitis. It frequently occurs in children under the age of 5 and can cause blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. In rare cases, it may lead to complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, or aseptic meningitis. Follow the "Wash hands, drink hot water, eat meat, ventilate frequently, and dry bedding" guidelines.
Spring and summer are seasons when enteroviruses are more likely to spread. It is important to maintain environmental, food, and personal hygiene. Avoid drinking unboiled water or eating raw, cold food. Wash your face before and after meals, and ensure good indoor air circulation. Try to avoid taking infants and young children to crowded places. Breastfeeding mothers should bathe frequently, change clothes often, and wash their nipples before changing diapers.
