Patient's question:
Previously infected, now taking medicine for the second time of infection. Past treatment history and effectiveness: It got better in a week. Wondering: Does the child still need injections now?Doctor's answer:
Although hand, foot, and mouth disease is relatively common, the transmission methods of hand and foot diseases are diverse, primarily through close contact among people. The virus can cause indirect contact transmission through contaminated hands, towels, handkerchiefs, tooth cups, toys, utensils, feeding utensils, bedding, underwear, and other items such as saliva, blister fluid, and feces.Prevention principles include strengthening surveillance, maintaining good environmental and food hygiene, and personal hygiene during outbreaks. Wash hands before meals and after using the toilet to prevent the disease from entering through the mouth. Parents should try to minimize their children's visits to crowded public places to reduce the risk of infection. Pay attention to children's nutrition and rest, avoid excessive sun exposure, and prevent overfatigue from lowering the body's resistance.
