Patient's question:
Prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease often occurs in children under the age of five. Prevention is the most important measure for hand, foot, and mouth disease, as it is transmitted through the mouth. This disease is caused by enteroviruses, so it is very important to wash hands before meals and after using the toilet, as well as maintain kitchen hygiene. Secondly, it is essential to keep the home well-ventilated and clean. During peak seasons of the disease, try to minimize children's visits to public playgrounds. When going out, wear a mask to prevent infection.
