Question
My younger sister loves to play and has a weak immune system. Her skin is particularly prone to allergies. She recently contracted Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. After taking medication and applying ointment, the healing process was not particularly fast. Can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease be completely cured? What should be noted after treatment?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is primarily a viral infection that can be effectively treated. After treatment, the condition can be completely recovered from, and there is generally no risk of re-infection with the virus. If someone with a weak immune system comes into contact with a child suffering from Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, this situation is more likely to lead to the disease’s occurrence. During the peak season for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, it’s best to avoid crowded places.
