Patient's question:
I have hand, foot, and mouth disease, and I am a sixth-grade student. Can I still go to school now? Can I tell my teacher about my illness?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute infectious illness, and you cannot go to school. It can be transmitted to others. I suggest telling your teacher about your condition. Hospital treatment may be required, so please take a few days off to prevent spreading it to others. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. It is recommended that family members take the child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance for care. In daily life, you can give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digestion and vitamin absorption, helping to prevent stomach issues. We hope the child can recover quickly!
