Patient's question:
A colleague's child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. I work in the same office as my colleague, and some contact is unavoidable. My child is 8 years old. Will I bring the virus home? Will I infect my child?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this virus will not survive in the air for that long. Guidance: You must stay home for a period of time, and you will not bring the virus back at all. Additionally, children aged 8 have a stronger immune system, so please rest assured. After returning home, just wash your clothes, observe your child's condition, and avoid taking them to crowded places for a while. If a fever occurs, it is essential to seek treatment promptly.
