Patient's question:
A baby who was three months old got hand, foot, and mouth disease. When the baby was about to recover, the eldest child also got hand, foot, and mouth disease. Will the second child be re-infected?Doctor's answer:
In the current situation, the possibility of transmission cannot be ruled out, as this disease itself is a viral illness, which means it has the potential for transmission. Generally, it is still advisable to adjust promptly. The main goal is to reduce immunity. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance for care. In daily life, it is acceptable to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digestion and vitamin absorption, and can help prevent stomach issues. We hope the child can recover quickly!
