Question
How severe is hand, foot, and mouth disease in infants?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is usually not very severe in infants. It is a common disease caused by viral infection, and it can generally be effectively controlled with symptomatic treatment and antiviral therapy. During the treatment process, it is important to maintain good eating habits, consume more fruits and vegetables, and engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity. Additionally, avoid scratching the rash to prevent the spread of infection. If severe symptoms such as persistent high fever or difficulty breathing occur, seek medical attention immediately.
