Question

Can adults also get hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is relatively rare in adults but not impossible. The symptoms in adults are typically similar to those in children, including oral ulcers, skin rashes on hands and feet, and fever. If you experience these symptoms, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and seek medical attention promptly. In some cases, oral antiviral medications may be helpful. However, if your fever persists, it is imperative to visit the hospital for professional diagnosis.
