Patient's question:
Recently is the high incidence period of infectious diseases, my son got hand, foot, and mouth disease, he kept crying to go to school, don't know if he can go?Doctor's answer:
Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease should not go to school or attend gatherings before the blisters dry to prevent the spread of the disease. If the pathogen is enterovirus 71, children should be isolated at home for a longer period until two weeks after the blisters dry before going out. It generally takes about ten days, and even mild cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease can be contagious during the acute phase.
