How to correctly prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How should I correctly prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

1、Wash hands before meals and after using the toilet to prevent diseases from entering the mouth.
2、Parents should try to minimize their children's visits to crowded public places to reduce the risk of infection.
3、Pay attention to the nutrition and rest of infants and young children, avoid excessive sun exposure, prevent overfatigue, and lower the body's resistance. There are many factors that contribute to hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should follow a balanced diet and avoid stimulating or cold foods.
