Patient's question:
Yesterday, I had a small blister on my hand, and a few days later, I noticed four or five of them. There were red patches in my mouth, but they weren't hot. My daughter had hand, foot, and mouth disease last week. Is it possible for adults to get hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Adults are less likely to get hand, foot, and mouth disease. It's very easy to manage with antiviral medication. The time to realize it won't be too late—just as long as there are no mental symptoms, it's not too late! Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children, so it's recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and treat under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it's okay to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digesting vitamins and preventing stomach problems. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
