A case study of hand, foot, and mouth disease with homoeopathic treatment according to individualistic approach

Abstract

A common viral illness called hand, foot and mouth disease usually affects infants and children (Under 10 years old) but rarely affects adults. Primarily it causes fever, rash, reduced appetite, and general malaise. Rashes usually appear on hands, foot, and oral cavity, the presentation of rash can be vesicular, papular and macular. Vesicles are surrounded by red halo skin, ultimately rupturing and forming superficial ulcers with a grey-yellow base and erythematous rim. Many research studies, including epidemiological, animal, and in vitro studies, suggest that the disease may be associated with potentially fatal neurological and pulmonary complications during follow-up.
