How should adults with hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated?

Patient's question:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease blisters started on June 28th, and the treatment and effectiveness have already begun. Many toxic drugs and drugs to increase strength have been taken. In addition to many fire-clearing drugs, I would like to ask what condition is considered truly recovered from hand, foot, and mouth disease. It will never be infected again. How should adults be treated for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) can cause illness anytime throughout the year, with higher incidence during the months of April to September. The main modes of transmission include close contact among people, which is a significant way to spread the enterovirus EV71. After infection with EV71, symptoms often begin with fever, typically around 38°C, accompanied by the appearance of rashes on the mouth, limbs, or buttocks, or the development of oral mucosal herpangina. Some patients may exhibit early symptoms similar to a cold, such as coughing. Rashes usually appear 1–2 days after the onset of fever and are commonly found on the palms and soles, but they can also appear on the buttocks. The condition is generally mild. In most cases, fever subsides and rashes disappear within a week, leading to full recovery.
