Patient's question:
Doctor, I was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease today, but I have a nine-year-old daughter at home. Will she be infected? Please tell me how to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease if I was diagnosed with it today.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, there is currently hand, foot, and mouth disease, which may be transmitted to the child, requiring isolation treatment. My personal opinion is that hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection and can be spread through the respiratory tract and close contact. Currently, it is necessary to isolate the child, pay attention to giving the child more water, and carefully observe changes in the child's body temperature and whether there are blisters on the bones and muscles. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is very harmful to children. Once parents notice the symptoms of their child, they should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis in a timely manner, while also paying close attention to the child's care. It is recommended to have a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect the child. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
