Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Is oral herpes the same as hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Oral herpes is a contagious infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, commonly occurring in infants and young children. It can cause blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, and in some cases, it may lead to complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, and aseptic meningitis.There are multiple causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is diagnosed with it, parents should cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be mindful not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
