Patient's question:
My daughter came back from kindergarten the day before yesterday and found red rashes on her hands. That night, she started having recurrent fever. The day before yesterday, I went to the kindergarten and asked the teacher, only to find out that one of the children in her class was experiencing the same symptoms and was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. How is hand, foot, and mouth disease in children caused?Doctor's answer:
Spring is the time when viruses are most active. It's not just hand, foot, and mouth disease. Illnesses like influenza, measles, and mumps are also starting to "make moves." Long-term hand washing, furniture disinfection, frequent ventilation, wearing masks when going out, and doing more outdoor exercise are all effective ways to stay away from viruses.Whether it's adults or children, whether it's hand, foot, and mouth disease or viral diarrhea, the methods of preventing infection are largely the same: as long as you master personal hygiene—hand washing, disinfection, ventilation, and exercise—the virus will naturally stay away from you.
