Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My wife is more than six months pregnant, but unfortunately, she has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. I heard that hand, foot, and mouth disease can affect health, and a pregnant woman's health is very important. So, I would like to ask what should be done if a pregnant woman gets hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
A pregnant woman who gets hand, foot, and mouth disease must go to the hospital for examination and treatment, as it is the safest option. This is because hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection that can affect the fetus. During pregnancy, it is important to regularly visit the obstetric department for prenatal check-ups, eat more protein-rich foods, consume fresh vegetables and fruits, and include lean meat, eggs, and fish in your diet. Avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and pay attention to personal hygiene during pregnancy.
