Patient's question:
My older daughter is 4 years old and has hand, foot, and mouth disease. My younger son is 5 months old. Now the breastfeeding mother has red spots on her palms and two blisters in her mouth, which seems like hand, foot, and mouth disease. Can my older daughter, who is 4 years old and has hand, foot, and mouth disease, still breastfeed?Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you provided, your current symptoms allow you to breastfeed. This virus spreads through food and respiratory droplets. Your current symptoms are beyond help. It can be transmitted to the child through the respiratory tract. Your current treatment requires taking Ribavirin tablets and antiviral oral liquid. Pay attention to indoor ventilation and dietary hygiene. Boiling vinegar can help kill germs and disinfect. The child is at risk of hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take the child to the hospital for timely treatment to prevent the use of small ad drugs. Proper medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to closely monitor changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
