Question
I have a three-year-old daughter who is particularly adorable. I’ve heard that many children are prone to Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. So I need to take preventive measures. Therefore, I would like to ask a professional, so doctor, when is the high incidence season for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can occur throughout the year, but compared to other seasons, the incidence rate is higher in spring and autumn. This situation is often due to viral infections, possibly related to children not paying attention to personal hygiene, poor diet, or due to dry air. Treatment usually involves antiviral medications and symptomatic treatments. It’s important to seek medical attention promptly when symptoms appear.
