Patient's question:
Fever, blisters on hands, mouth, and feetDoctor's answer:
The key to preventing hand, foot, and mouth disease is to pay attention to family and surrounding environmental hygiene, as well as personal hygiene. Wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer before meals, after using the toilet, and after going out; do not drink untreated water or eat raw, cold food; ensure good ventilation in living spaces; and frequently air out bedding and clothing. During outbreaks, avoid taking children to crowded, poorly ventilated public places and avoid contact with infected children.
