Patient's question:
My husband has hand, foot, and mouth disease. There are two children at home. Will it be contagious to them?Doctor's answer:
Temporarily do not let the child touch your husband, as hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection. It is contagious. The child and your husband need to stay away from each other. Otherwise, they may infect the child. Take some antiviral medication and eat a light diet. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be quite harmful to children. It is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is possible to provide the child with enough care and attention, pay close attention to their diet, and hope that the child can recover as soon as possible!
