Question

What usually causes hand, foot, and mouth disease? If a child develops symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease this afternoon, what medication should be used to accelerate recovery? How does this disease occur?

Answer

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by the Coxsackievirus, which can be transmitted directly through respiratory droplets or indirectly through contaminated food, clothing, and utensils. Treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease should be symptomatic, with active antiviral therapy and attention to isolation measures. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children, so parents should take their children to a specialized hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can give the child some juice to supplement vitamins and prevent diarrhea, hoping the child can recover quickly.
