Question
How should one handle the recurrence of red rashes?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by enteroviruses and is commonly found in children under 2 years old, although it can also affect adults. This may be related to weakened immunity. Before treatment, detailed examinations such as an electrocardiogram, myocardial enzyme testing, chest X-ray, and blood routine should be conducted. In severe cases, it may lead to neurocarditis, pneumonia, and even threaten life. Treatment can include antiviral medications, along with symptomatic treatments such as vitamin supplementation. Adequate rest, proper diet, enhanced nutrition, and boosting immunity are also important. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children, so it is recommended that parents take their children to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
