Question
I don’t know what’s going on, but my child has been very disobedient lately, crying and fussing all the time. We’ve gone to the hospital and checked, but it doesn’t seem to help.
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease transmitted by enteroviruses that can cause rashes on the hands, feet, and mouth, as well as complications such as fever, pneumonia, and intestinal infections. Early treatment is necessary upon diagnosis. For mild symptoms, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication is sufficient for a quick recovery. In severe cases, hospitalization may be required, and in extreme cases, it could even threaten life. Therefore, it should not be taken lightly.
