Patient's question:
Why do people get hand, foot, and mouth disease? This disease may be caused by infection? The hygiene at home is very good.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common clinical diagnosis in pediatric or infectious diseases. It is caused by enterovirus transmission and has a high level of contagiousness. Although the home is very clean, if a child's resistance is low and they come into contact with a patient suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, they are easily infected, leading to the recurrence of the disease. Therefore, it is essential to enhance care for the child, maintain constant hygiene in the family and the child's personal hygiene, prevent contact with patients of hand, foot, and mouth disease, and cut off transmission routes to avoid infection.
