Patient's question:
I would like to ask about the hand, foot, and mouth disease of the child next door. My child often plays with him. What preventive measures should my child take? What should I pay attention to? Is it necessary to drink antiviral oral liquid?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is contagious. Generally, it is best not to play with children who have the condition. To prevent the child from getting infected, consider giving them more water and pay attention to frequent handwashing. Try to avoid touching them as much as possible. If the child becomes infected again, seek medical attention promptly. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. Once parents notice symptoms, they should take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's diet. It is recommended to eat a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect health. We hope the child can receive professional treatment and recover quickly!
