Patient's question:
Children with low immunity are more prone to hand, foot, and mouth disease, so I wanted to learn more about it. Regarding the questions after recovering from hand, foot, and mouth disease due to medication. Since I haven't had a baby yet, I wanted to understand more about these illnesses first.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily caused by enterovirus infection, mainly transmitted through airborne droplets and contact. It is most common in children aged around six months to three years. Generally, if a baby is older than six years, they are less likely to contract hand, foot, and mouth disease. There is now a vaccine available for hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is advisable to strengthen the baby's physical fitness through regular exercise and pay attention to hand hygiene and disinfection. As long as the baby's immune function is enhanced, they are less likely to get sick. It is essential to ensure timely vaccination for prevention.
