Patient's question:
My son is five and a half years old. Could the child possibly contract diseases and hand, foot, and mouth disease if the child touches something?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a child who is five and a half years old has come into contact with a hand, foot, and mouth disease patient, and there is a possibility of infection. Therefore, to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease, the best way is to avoid contact with the patient. In daily life, pay attention to personal hygiene, bathe frequently, change clothes often, and wash your face before meals and after using the restroom. If conditions permit, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital to get vaccinated against hand, foot, and mouth disease. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
