Patient's question:
What is hand, foot, and mouth disease? It itches? What other symptoms may reappear? Will it be fatal?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a condition where rashes reappear on the hands, feet, and mouth, accompanied by itching and discomfort, fever, coughing, etc. It is caused by a viral infection. This disease is most common in children under the age of 7. After the age of 7, it rarely occurs, and if it does, it is usually very mild. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. Once parents notice their child's symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's diet, recommending a light diet and avoiding spicy foods that may affect the condition. We hope the child can receive professional treatment and recover quickly!
