Patient's question:
Because of work reasons, neither my husband nor I have much time to take care of the baby. It has always been taken care of by my mother-in-law. However, recently the baby got hand, foot, and mouth disease, and it has been about a week. Now he has red spots all over his body. I don't know if it's caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. I heard that hand, foot, and mouth disease can recur.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are over 20 types of viruses that can cause hand, foot, and mouth disease, with Enterovirus 71 and Coxsackievirus A16 being the prevalent types this year.Advice: If the baby is infected with EV71, they will not be reinfected with it after recovery but may still be infected with Coxsackievirus A16. Therefore, it may still occur. In daily life, it's best to avoid crowded public places, drink more water, and get adequate rest.
