Patient's question:
The child has been complaining of a headache ever since coming back from school. They took anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine at home, but after a day, it still wasn't getting better. Later, they noticed that bumps had started to form on their hand, so they took them to the clinic. The doctor said the child had hand, foot, and mouth disease. What could have caused the child to get hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection, and the reason for it is the infection of the hand, foot, and mouth disease virus. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, as the virus causing hand, foot, and mouth disease is a gastrointestinal virus. Additionally, if a baby shows symptoms of a headache, it is important to carefully observe the complications of hand, foot, and mouth disease. The main symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are the appearance of blisters on the mouth, palms, and soles of the feet.
