Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting 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. Can adults get hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Adults have strong immunity and are less prone to infection, but they can become one of the sources of transmission. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by enteroviruses and is highly prevalent among preschool children, especially infants under 3 years old. Hello, the main virus transmission source requires attention to hygiene. It is more common in infants under 3 years old, but adults can also be infected. Poor environmental hygiene, food hygiene, and bad personal hygiene habits can lead to the disease.
