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. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Please ask, how long is the contagious period of hand, foot, and mouth disease during the course of the illness?Doctor's answer:
Generally, hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. Its main transmission routes are gastrointestinal transmission and contact transmission. Respiratory droplets can also cause a certain degree of transmission. The course of the disease is usually about one week.If the symptoms are confirmed to be caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease, timely symptomatic treatment should be administered. If there is fever, naproxen should be taken orally for treatment. For symptoms caused by oral ulcers, the method of using Xili Powder should be used for treatment.
