Patient's question:
In the kindergarten, there are children who have hand, foot, and mouth disease, and it has been about 15 days since the onset. Now they are back at kindergarten! Is there still an incubation period after recovery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is still contagious to have hand, foot, and mouth disease for two weeks after recovery, so it is important to pay attention to care. The feces need to be disinfected, and objects touched by the child should also be thoroughly disinfected with fluoride-containing disinfectant. Additionally, isolation and treatment for one week of observation are required.There are many factors that can cause hand, foot, and mouth disease. If the child is confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
