The baby next door, he hates putting his hands in his mouth to eat. If adults see him, they will stop him. If he continues like this, will he get hand, foot, and mouth disease? What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease? How can we prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease? Does hand, foot, and mouth disease only affect children?Doctor's answer:
This disease is mainly caused by viral infection. It is primarily brought on by the hand, foot, and mouth virus. The main symptoms include the appearance of blisters first in the mouth (excluding the buttocks) and on the soles of the feet. Since this is primarily considered a viral infection, it is advisable to exercise more to boost the immune system. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to preventing colds, ensuring good air circulation in the room, and avoiding crowded public places or contact with children who are sick. Adults can also contract this disease.
