Question
Can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease occur in children?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by an intestinal virus infection. There is a possibility of recurrence because there is no cross immunity after infection. If re-infected with the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease virus, symptoms may reappear. Therefore, it is important to be vigilant about preventing contact with infected individuals and to avoid catching a cold. This can help boost the child’s immunity.
