Patient's question:
The child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, with blisters all over their mouth and also on their hands. On the third day of the child's illness, I think I might have been infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease as well. I have small blisters on my hands, a pricking sensation, and they come and go. My throat is a bit sore, and my mouth is also peeling. I don't know if I have been infected.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease, in adults, is usually mild and rarely causes symptoms to reappear, although such cases in adults are uncommon. If it is hand, foot, and mouth disease, he has an infection with enterovirus, and antiviral treatment can be considered, which is quite effective. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. Once a mother notices her child's symptoms, she should take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, she should pay close attention to the child's diet, suggesting a proper diet and avoiding cold foods. It is hoped that the child can receive symptomatic treatment to help them recover!
