Patient's question:
The child of our neighbor next door, who is 16 months old, has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. Our child is 10 months old. What are the best isolation measures we should take?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are a set of clinical manifestations caused by a viral infection, primarily characterized by fever, oral ulcers, and blisters on the hands and feet. Generally, it can recover within 7 days, so there is no need to worry. When there is fever and other clinical symptoms, symptomatic treatment can be administered.
