Patient's question:
My sister loves to play around and has a weak immune system. Her body and skin are also very 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 cured, what should be noted?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily a viral infection. This disease can be completely cured. After recovery, the condition will fully return to normal, and it is generally unlikely to be reinfected with the virus later on. If your body's resistance is weak and you come into contact with a child suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is easy for this disease to occur. During the high season for hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is best to avoid crowded places.
