Patient's question:
It may be that the child often plays with other children in two places and then gets infected with the hand, foot, and mouth disease virus. So during this period, there are blisters on his hands, feet, and mouth. How should hand, foot, and mouth disease blisters be cared for?Doctor's answer:
Although hand, foot, and mouth disease is a skin-related illness, it is primarily caused by a viral infection. Children under the age of five are particularly prone to experiencing recurrent episodes of this disease. The incubation period typically ranges from 3 to 7 days. Proper care for children with hand, foot, and mouth disease is crucial, as it can prevent blister corrosion and transmission. Children with fever should also drink more water, which can help reduce fever.
