Patient's question:
There are two children in the kindergarten who have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Will it be contagious to other children? Especially my child has just recovered, is the risk greater? What measures should be taken.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the key to preventing hand, foot, and mouth disease is to pay attention to hygiene in the family and surrounding environment, as well as personal hygiene. During an outbreak, parents should take their children to less crowded public places to reduce the chance of infection.Guidelines: Wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer before meals, after meals, and after going out. Do not drink raw water or eat raw, cold food. Caregivers should wash their hands before touching the child, after caring for the child, or after handling feces, and properly dispose of soiled materials. Rooms should be frequently ventilated, and clothes and bedding should be kept dry.
