Patient's question:
Now I'm 7 months pregnant. My sister's baby got hand, foot, and mouth disease and was hospitalized for a week. She just got discharged a week ago. I went to see her, but didn't touch her, just sat on the side. I'm wondering if children with hand, foot, and mouth disease can still be contagious a week after discharge.Doctor's answer:
In your situation, it's okay. She's already doing well, and she's been discharged for a week. So don't worry, don't put too much pressure on yourself. She's not contagious at all right now. Don't be too sensitive; it's nothing serious, just relax.The child has been affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so the mother must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment. Avoid using small ads for medication and ensure proper medication is used. Parents should provide the child with enough care and attention, and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
