Question
What should be noted when infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a rash-causing infectious disease caused by enterovirus infections. It is highly contagious, so first and foremost, isolation is necessary to prevent cross-infection. In addition, antiviral treatment and symptomatic therapy can be provided. If fever occurs, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If there is recurrent fever and poor mental state, medical attention should be sought promptly, and hospitalization may be necessary.
