Patient's question:
My son has come into contact with a hand, foot, and mouth disease patient. I'm very worried that he might have been infected, so I want to consult whether this situation might occur again.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a highly contagious illness. In this case, it's best to stay home and use ultraviolet light to disinfect your child's toys and clothing promptly. It's also best to avoid taking your child to public places. During the current autumn and winter seasons, indoor environments are more isolated, and bacteria adapt quickly. It's important to ventilate the room in a timely manner. At the same time, make sure your child washes their face before meals and after using the restroom, paying attention to hygiene. Finally, wish you a speedy recovery.
