Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. How long is hand, foot, and mouth disease contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious illness among children. Patients must undergo isolation treatment. Generally, children with hand, foot, and mouth disease can return to school one week after recovery. Once the disease is cured, it will not spread to other children.There are multiple causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have the disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, follow gastrointestinal decompression measures, and develop good hygiene habits. Children should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
