Question
How should adults be treated for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease in adults is primarily due to weakened immunity and usually presents with mild symptoms. The treatment and care methods are similar to those for children. In daily life, it is important to rest adequately, maintain sufficient sleep, maintain a positive attitude, eat more fresh fruits, and drink plenty of water. Treatment should be symptom-specific, including antiviral therapy or supportive treatments with vitamins. Additionally, attention should be given to dietary hygiene and frequent hand washing.
