Can I still get infected after recovering from hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

Can people with hand, foot, and mouth disease still be infected after recovery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello baby parents, hand, foot, and mouth disease is not a lifelong immune disease, and it is highly likely to be reinfected. It is recommended to thoroughly disinfect items used by the baby during the high-incidence period of hand, foot, and mouth disease: items that can be soaked can be immersed in chlorine-containing disinfectant solutions, while items that cannot be soaked can be placed in the sun for exposure. The baby's room should be regularly opened for ventilation to maintain fresh and circulating air with a suitable temperature. If possible, families can use lactic acid fumigation daily for air disinfection. Reduce the number of people entering and leaving the baby's room.
