Question
In a kindergarten, if a child is infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease, how long does it usually take for other children to show symptoms? There have been observations of lively children becoming quiet and many blisters appearing in their mouths.
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease typically appears within about a week after infection. Once diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, the child should be taken to the pediatric department of a local hospital for treatment immediately. Parents should be patient when caring for their children and seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort is noticed. Additionally, parents should not resort to medication blindly while caring for their children to avoid delaying the child’s condition.
