Question
Is staged treatment required for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by enteroviruses, and the onset of this viral infection is relatively rapid. If complications do not occur, recovery usually happens quickly, so there is no need for staged treatment for this disease. The general course of treatment for a viral infection lasts about 5 to 7 days. Therefore, as long as proper treatment and preventive measures are taken to avoid complications, a full recovery can typically be expected within 5 to 7 days.
