Patient's question:
My son has recently contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. He has been treated for several days, but there hasn't been any improvement. Could you please advise on how to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Children must eat cooked food, not cold food, especially spoiled overnight food. After all, hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by enteroviruses, so paying attention to food hygiene is very important. Parents should change their children's clothes and bedding frequently and then take them out to dry. To keep the clothes clean and tidy, kill bacteria and viruses with ultraviolet light, provide children with a reasonable diet, sufficient rest, appropriate sun exposure, and guide them to participate in physical exercise.
