Patient's question:
At home, there are two children. The younger one got hand, foot, and mouth disease, but has already recovered and been discharged from the hospital. Can they play together with the older one?Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to help you answer this. Based on what you've mentioned, your younger child has recovered from hand, foot, and mouth disease and has been discharged from the hospital. Are you asking if they can play with the older child?Based on your description, it's recommended to keep the recovered child isolated from other children for now, as hand, foot, and mouth disease still carries a certain level of transmissibility. The disease can have a significant impact on children, so it's advisable for parents to take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment under medical guidance.
In daily life, it's okay to give the child some fruit juice, which can help with digestion and vitamin absorption, as well as prevent stomach issues. We hope the child can recover quickly!
