Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, commonly seen in children under the age of 5, but adults can also be infected. The treatment for children with the disease depends on the severity of the condition. Generally, most cases are not severe and only require rest and symptomatic treatment.

Adults can also be re-infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease, characterized by blisters on the hands, feet, knees, buttocks, and mouth, accompanied by skin itching. It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment, and to isolate oneself to prevent cross-infection.

Adults can also contract hand, foot, and mouth disease, although this condition is more common in children. If adults develop red rashes and bumps on their hands, feet, and inside their mouth, accompanied by redness, they should suspect a hand, foot, and mouth disease infection and seek timely medical treatment. At home, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and personal hygiene habits.
