Question
The baby next door often puts their hands in their mouth, and the parents are worried that they might have contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. What are the main symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease? How can one prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease? Does hand, foot, and mouth disease only affect children?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily caused by viral infection, with symptoms including blisters appearing on the mouth, hands, and soles. Prevention can be achieved by boosting immunity, maintaining good indoor ventilation, avoiding public places and contact with sick children. Hand, foot, and mouth disease affects not only children but also adults.
