What causes hand foot mouth disease
First: the most common cause of HFMD is infection. Some children in kindergartens have too many children. It may be that other children have not been treated for HFMD, so they are infected when they play together. The virus in throat secretions and saliva of patients can be transmitted through air droplets. Hand, towel, handkerchief, tooth cup, toy, tableware, milk set, bedding and underwear contaminated by saliva, herpes fluid and feces can be transmitted through daily contact or by mouth.
Second, there are some serious viruses, such as coxsackievirus a16. In addition, other strains of coxsackievirus a or enterovirus 71 can also cause HFMD. This is one of the enteroviruses. The site of infection is the whole digestive tract including the oral cavity, which enters the body through the mouth of contaminated food, drinks, fruits, etc., and proliferates in the intestinal tract.
Third: there may be some viruses in some pets or stray dogs outside. If children touch them carelessly, they will be easily infected because of their poor resistance. The blood, skin mucous membrane secretion, saliva, urine, feces and milk of sick animals all carry virus. Most of them are infected through direct contact with sick animals or milking. The virus enters the human body through tiny wounds on the skin. Occasionally, it can be infected by eating infected milk, cheese, butter or other dairy products.
