Patient's question:
I've been feeling unwell lately. Do adults with hand, foot, and mouth disease recover on their own?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it can heal on its own because adults have strong resistance and high immunity. Without treatment, it can be fully recovered within a week. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly treated with antiviral therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine are most effective, with Lanqin oral liquid or Erding granules oral solution that can help clear heat and detoxify. During the illness, it's important to maintain good hygiene habits to prevent re-infection with the virus.
