Patient's question:
Last year, the kindergarten my child attended had an outbreak of hand, foot, and mouth disease. My child also got it because the symptoms weren't very severe, so it quickly recovered. Will my child get hand, foot, and mouth disease again after having had it? Because it seems there have been many cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease in the village recently, and I'm afraid to go out.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is generally transmitted through droplets and respiratory tract. If you have had hand, foot, and mouth disease before but it reappears, not paying attention to isolation can also lead to the disease. It is recommended that you try to avoid contact with children who have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Wash your child's hands and feet with soap and water every day, give your child more boiled water to drink, and consider taking antiviral medication orally for prevention. Keep the indoor air well-ventilated.
