Patient's question:
My son played with a child three days ago, and that child has now contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should I prevent this? What kind of help do you need: How to take many medicationsDoctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by various different enteroviruses. The clinical manifestations include fever, recurrent maculopapules and vesicles on the palms and soles, and rashes on the buttocks or knees. People who are easily infected can also spread the disease through contact with the patient's nasal secretions, sputum, blisters, and blister fluid. It primarily affects children under the age of ten. If your child plays with a sick child, the risk of transmission is relatively high. In such cases, you can have your child wash their face promptly, ensure good ventilation at home, and avoid taking them to the homes of children with the disease or crowded public places. Frequently air out bedding and clothing, closely monitor your child's condition, and seek medical attention immediately if they develop a fever.
