Patient's question:
Buttocks, hands, and feet reappear with red rashes, fever appears three days after discovering the symptoms, but only after the third day of general symptoms did they go to the hospital for a thorough examination, the rashes gradually subside, everything was normal before fever, no appetite after fever, sometimes dry heaving, please ask if hand, foot, and mouth disease will recurDoctor's answer:
The viruses that cause hand, foot, and mouth disease come in many subtypes. Generally, a person will not be reinfected with the same virus, but they can develop the disease if infected with a different subtype. If a child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, active antiviral preventive measures should be taken to prevent transmission. After symptoms disappear, it is usually about a week before other symptoms appear, indicating recovery. The disease will not recur, but the child may still be contagious. Medications that can lower immunity include immunoglobulin and transfer factor, but they should only be used for a limited time and will not permanently reduce immunity. In daily life, it is important to ensure a balanced diet, pay attention to nutritional balance, and exercise regularly to strengthen the body, which will help maintain a strong immune system.
