Patient's question:
My child has had poor health since childhood and is much shorter than children of the same age. She is also very thin. The doctor prescribed lysine for her, and she has been taking it for some time now, but there hasn't been any noticeable improvement. Could lysine cause precocious puberty?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by enteroviruses and is highly contagious. It most commonly occurs in infants and preschool children, although it can affect people of any age. However, children and adults who have started school have stronger immune systems, making them less likely to contract the disease. During peak seasons for hand, foot, and mouth disease, taking preventive measures is essential. Avoid crowded places, prevent contact with infected individuals, maintain good hygiene, and reduce the body's susceptibility to effectively prevent the recurrence of this disease.
