What should I do if I have a child at home who has hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

I have herpes on my buttocks with inflammatory erythema around the sores, and there are two or three on my feet. I am currently pregnant, and there is a child in my family who has hand, foot, and mouth disease. When feeding the child, I use the same spoon as her. Does this pose a risk to my fetus? If it does, what measures should I take?

Doctor's answer:

It's best not to use the same spoon! This might have a certain impact on you and your baby in the womb! From now on, don't use the spoon! It's recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up and receive treatment based on the results. Don't take medicine casually; if you do, please follow the doctor's advice! At the same time, maintain a positive mindset, as a positive attitude is very helpful for treating the illness! It's also suggested that you pay attention to your child's diet now and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
