Question
Dear team, my son is 8 years old and has recently been a bit feverish with small red spots on his palms and in his mouth. Can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease be transmitted to adults?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is usually caused by weakened immunity and poor physique, and adults generally have higher immunity and are less likely to contract the disease. Mild cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease typically heal within about a week, but severe cases should seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, pay attention to warmth and cold prevention, consume light and soft foods in their diet, ensure good ventilation in the environment, drink plenty of hot water, and strengthen their physique to prevent disease occurrence.
