Patient's question:
Can pregnant women get infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses and is more common in children under the age of 5. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract, so if there is close contact, the possibility of infection cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to fight viral infection and enhance immunity. For adults, if they have strong resistance, they will not be infected, so there is no need to worry. During pregnancy, pay attention to nutrition and adhere to regular prenatal check-ups.
