Understanding Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease
Hand-foot-mouth disease is caused by enteroviruses, primarily affecting children but also possible in adults. It spreads through saliva, feces, and contact with contaminated surfaces. Recognizing early symptoms helps in prompt treatment and containment.

- Rashes or red spots on palms, soles, and sometimes buttocks

Diagnosis and Treatment Approaches
Diagnosis is primarily clinical, based on symptoms and physical exam. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms through hydration, pain management, and rest. Severe cases may require antiviral medications prescribed by a healthcare provider.
