Question
How many deaths are associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily presents with red rashes on the hands and feet and oral ulcers after viral infection. In severe cases, it can lead to neurological or cardiovascular damage, which may threaten life. However, this is not common, and timely treatment can effectively alleviate symptoms and prevent severe consequences. The late spring and early summer are the peak season for hand, foot, and mouth disease, but most cases are mild and can heal on their own.
