Patient's question:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is terrifying. The speed of its spread and transmission is particularly fast. I have two children at home, and I want to know how to prevent the occurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Nursing measures:1. Disinfection and isolation. Once infection with hand, foot, and mouth disease is detected, the baby should seek medical attention promptly and avoid contact with others. Generally, isolation is required for 2 weeks. The baby's room should be regularly ventilated with windows opened to maintain fresh and circulating air at an appropriate temperature. Families with the means can use lactose fumigation daily for air disinfection. Reduce the number of people entering and leaving the baby's room, prohibit smoking to prevent air pollution, and avoid secondary infections.
2. Dietary nutrition. If the baby contracts the illness in summer, dehydration and electrolyte disorders may occur, requiring appropriate hydration and nutrition. Additionally, hygiene must be paid close attention.
