Question
A 3-year-old boy has recently felt very tired. After a hospital examination, it was found that he is ill. Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be transmitted to adults in the household?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease does not spread to adults; it is primarily transmitted among children and caused by a viral infection. It is recommended to treat the child promptly, as they usually recover gradually within about a week. Continue medication treatment and maintain good personal hygiene. There are various treatment methods for the disease, and different treatments should be adopted depending on the patient’s condition. It is advised to seek medical attention for detailed examinations as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
