Patient's question:
Will a one-year-old baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease transmit it to a five-year-old baby? No fever, no appetite, something is wrong.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral, contagious illness that is highly infectious. If a child in the family contracts hand, foot, and mouth disease, there is a possibility of infection. Therefore, a five-year-old child can also be infected, and it is best to isolate them. Children are threatened by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take them to the doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help them receive timely treatment for the illness.
