Patient's question:
My child is in primary school, and hand, foot, and mouth disease has been popular recently. So, we are very careful when he eats. We have to wash our hands before eating every time. We pay close attention to his hygiene, but he can't wash his hands often at school. I would like to ask if this can spread hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: This illness is caused by an intestinal virus infection. It is usually transmitted through unhygienic food consumption, and can also be spread through contact with patients. It's important to wash hands before eating, and to wash hands before and after using the restroom, in order to cultivate good hygiene habits in children. If someone contracts this illness, they should receive symptomatic treatment, detoxification treatment, and antiviral treatment. During recovery, spicy foods should be avoided.
