Question

How many days is the toxin elimination period for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease? At 18 weeks old, I had a blister on my feet for 2 days. What was the previous treatment situation and effectiveness? How long did it take to return to school after taking medicine? The incubation period is how many days?

Answer

During the acute phase, patients excrete toxins in their feces for 3 to 5 weeks and in their throat for 1 to 2 weeks. Therefore, it is necessary to be treated well before returning to school, with the specific duration depending on the condition.
