Patient's question:
I am a medical student. I am curious about which groups of people are more prone to hand, foot, and mouth disease. I don't dare to ask my teacher, afraid of being told that I don't study what I should study, or that I don't want to study what I should study.Doctor's answer:
Warmly welcome you to join the ranks of medical studies. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enterovirus transmission, often occurring in young children and children with weakened immune systems. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has an incubation period, generally lasting 2 to 10 days. Typical hand, foot, and mouth disease is easy to diagnose. After infection, small red spots appear on the palms, soles, and even inside the mouth. It is often accompanied by fever. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
