Hand, foot, and mouth disease generally affects children of what age?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me at what age children usually get hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, it mainly affects children aged 3-7. The main mode of viral transmission requires attention to hygiene, maintaining air circulation, and regular exercise. There are many factors that can trigger hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
