Patient's question:
Would you get infected after touching a hand, foot, and mouth disease patient for several hours? I touched things he touched, but there was no physical contact.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral infectious disease caused by enterovirus infection. Based on the situation you described, hand, foot, and mouth disease generally primarily affects preschool children because this group has weaker resistance and poorer personal hygiene habits. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. Once family members notice the symptoms, they should promptly take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to the child's care. It is recommended to have a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect health. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
