Patient's question:
My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, and they are almost recovered. But my brother's child also got hand, foot, and mouth disease. If we take care of them together, will I get infected?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute infectious disease caused by an intestinal virus. According to your description, it is also possible to be reinfected in this case because there is no immunity. Children are threatened by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take their children to see a doctor immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely and symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to provide children with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
