Question
When I eat, I feel an unusual pain in my mouth. I took a look and found many blisters inside my mouth, some of which have burst and formed ulcers. So I want to ask, at 28 years old, could I have hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Generally, adults do not get hand, foot, and mouth disease; don’t worry. Hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily occurs in children under 5 years old, who may have many bubbles in their mouths and may become irritable or develop oral ulcers. Additionally, they might be eating fried foods together. For hand, foot, and mouth disease, treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor. Typically, oral fire-reducing and anti-inflammatory medications are recommended. Moreover, drinking warm water is advised, and you can use tin powder or watermelon frost spray for wiping. Also, pay attention to oral hygiene; avoid eating hot foods and alcohol. It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.Note: The information provided above is for reference only.
