Patient's question:
My child got infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease from someone else. We have to pay attention to sterilization issues every day. How do you sterilize hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease can generally be disinfected by exposing it to sunlight for about four hours, which can achieve the purpose of sterilization. It can also be inactivated by directly exposing it to a ultraviolet light for 30 minutes. For utensils used by children, we can boil them in hot water for about 20 minutes. It is important to develop the habit of washing hands frequently, especially before meals and after using the bathroom. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
