Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could it be caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enterovirus transmission, which can manifest as rashes recurring on the hands, feet, and mouth. It may also be accompanied by complications such as fever, pneumonia, and intestinal infections. Therefore, early treatment is necessary once diagnosed. For mild symptoms, medication should be used cautiously, and recovery will be quick. For more severe symptoms, hospital treatment is required, and in severe cases, it may even be life-threatening. Thus, it must not be taken lightly.
