Patient's question:
My little nephew really likes licking his fingers and doesn't wash his hands before eating, so our family is very worried that he might get hand, foot, and mouth disease due to these habits. Now, I want to know if there is a vaccine for hand, foot, and mouth disease, and what methods can be used to prevent it?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease has no vaccine. When parents take care of their children, they must be patient. Once they notice that their child is uncomfortable, they should take them to the hospital for examination in time. When the child is sick, never give them medicine blindly to avoid delaying their condition. During the outbreak of infectious diseases, never take them to crowded places. It is important to give them more water regularly.
