Does hand, foot, and mouth disease in children recur?

Patient's question:

Because my daughter ate and lived with her classmates in kindergarten, she accidentally contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. After treatment, she recovered completely. A week after going back to school, I noticed that small bubbles seemed to reappear on her tongue, and I was very worried. Hello, will hand, foot, and mouth disease recur in children?

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by intestinal virus transmission, and this condition may lead to outbreaks. Since there is no cross-immunity response to this disease, if the virus is reinfected, it may cause recurrence. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to preventing contact with individuals who have already been infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Additionally, be mindful of avoiding colds and preventing colds, which can help enhance the baby's immunity.
