Patient's question:
Does hand, foot, and mouth disease require isolation after discharge? How long is the isolation period generally required? Does this disease usually break out?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease generally takes about two weeks from onset to complete healing. During this period, isolation is necessary because the disease has a risk of infection. If it has been two weeks, you can have a blood test to check the virus content. If the virus content is not high, then there is no risk of infection, and isolation is not required.
