Can adults get hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

My daughter has suspected hand, foot, and mouth disease. After a few days of injections, she is now ready, but it seems I might have been infected as well. I don't know what to do if an adult gets hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Doctor's answer:

You don't need to worry if you have bubbles on your hands, feet, and mouth. If you are an adult, especially one with weakened immunity, you can also get it, but the problem is not serious.
Guidance: If you have small peas on your limbs, hands, feet, and heart, consider a viral infection that can be detected through blood tests. You should still maintain a nutrient-rich diet and ensure good indoor ventilation. If you have cough and cold symptoms, you can take some antiviral medications.
