Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, recently the child has a slight fever and small red spots on the palms and mouth. Question: Does hand, foot, and mouth disease transmit to adults?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is usually caused by infection due to poor immunity and weak constitution, while adults generally have high immunity and are usually not infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Generally, mild cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease heal within about a week, but severe cases require prompt medical treatment. In addition to treatment, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and warmth, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to enhance their constitution and prevent the occurrence of the disease.
