Patient's question:
Hello. I have some blisters, they've also started appearing on my feet, and in my mouth. Don't they only affect children under 5 or 6 years old? Why would I still have them at 22?Doctor's answer:
If the virus is usually spread among children under the age of five or six, but if adults have a weak constitution, they may also be infected. However, after adults contract the disease, it is not life-threatening. You can look up the EV71 virus; if it is the case, taking antiviral medication can help. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses a greater threat to children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digestion and vitamin absorption, and can help prevent stomach problems. We hope the child can recover quickly!
