Patient's question:
Clothes worn by a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease can be worn by other children. Does the clothing of a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease transmit the infection?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the child has currently had hand, foot, and mouth disease. You want to know if this can be given to other children. The virus of hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly spread through close respiratory transmission. It is generally less likely to spread through clothing. If the clothes are washed clean and exposed to sunlight, the possibility of reinfection is relatively low. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. It is recommended that the family take the child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digestion and vitamin absorption, and can help prevent stomach problems. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
