Patient's question:
Son got the foot-hand-mouth vaccine at his own expense during his last vaccination, but since the day before yesterday, he has been feverish and drooling. When taken to the clinic, it was diagnosed as foot-hand-mouth disease. Is it a misdiagnosis, or is the vaccine fake? Will he still get foot-hand-mouth disease after being vaccinated against it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent. The hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccine only serves a preventive purpose. If the child frequently stays in an environment with a high prevalence of the hand, foot, and mouth virus, and their body's resistance is low, they may become infected with the virus. In such cases, it is recommended that the child stay away from patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease and actively exercise to strengthen their own resistance. In other respects, there is no major issue.
