Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. How long does hand, foot, and mouth disease need to rest before they can go back to school?Doctor's answer:
Once it is discovered that the baby is infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease, the baby should seek medical attention promptly, avoid contact with the outside world, and generally need to be isolated for 2 weeks. Items used by the baby should be thoroughly disinfected: they can be soaked in chlorine-containing disinfectant solutions, and items that are not suitable for soaking can be placed in the sun for exposure. It is best not to go out to prevent transmission, but the baby can take a bath, eat cooked food, but it should be cooled down, because there may be ulcers in the mouth, which can be quite painful.
