What Are the Reasons for a Child to Contract Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?

Question

The child has been complaining of a headache since returning from school. The child has been taking anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medication at home, but it hasn’t improved after a day. Later, I noticed that blisters have started to appear on the child’s palms, so I took them to the clinic. The doctor said the child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. What reasons could lead to the child contracting hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by a viral infection. The cause is due to the infection of the hand, foot, and mouth disease virus. It’s important to maintain good personal hygiene as the virus is an enteric virus. Additionally, if the baby shows symptoms like headaches, one should carefully observe for complications of hand, foot, and mouth disease. The primary symptoms are blisters appearing on the mouth, palms, and soles of the feet.
