    Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common acute febrile exanthematous infectious disease caused by enteroviruses (coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus 71 being the most common).

    Nowadays, hand, foot and mouth disease is divided into three types: common HFMD (mild children), severe HFMD (prone to central nervous system damage), and critical HFMD (this type has a very high mortality rate and needs to be paid attention to).

    It is most likely to occur in places where children are concentrated, and it is also easy to cause concentrated infection and concentrated infection. It is recommended that when children go out to play, parents should teach their children not to eat indiscriminately, wash their hands when they get home, wash their hands frequently, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
