Question
What should be paid attention to with hand, foot, and mouth disease? How can one prevent and manage it on a daily basis? What should be done upon discovery?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an illness caused by viral infection, typically presenting with fever and vesicular rashes on the hands, feet, and mouth. It’s important to practice frequent hand washing, maintain good hygiene, and avoid close contact with children who have the disease. Pre-vaccination against hand, foot, and mouth disease can also be very effective. If infection is suspected, one should seek medical attention promptly and undergo thorough examinations at the hospital. Treatment should then be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
