Patient's question:
My sister loves to play around, and she also has a weak immune system. Her body and skin are particularly prone to allergies. A few weeks ago, she contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. She took medicine and applied topical treatments, but her recovery wasn't particularly fast. Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be completely cured? If it is treated, what should be noted?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily a viral infection. This condition can be treated completely. After treatment, the illness will fully recover, and it is generally unlikely to be reinfected with the virus later on. If your body's immunity is weak and you come into contact with a child suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is easier for you to contract the disease in such a situation. During the peak season for hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is best to avoid crowded places as much as possible.
