Can babies with hand, foot, and mouth disease take a bath?

Patient's question:

Child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, don't know how to take care of him, hello baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease can take a bath?

Doctor's answer:

When the baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease, if there are no broken skin areas on the skin, it is possible to take a bath. If there are local skin ulcers, it is not advisable to take a bath. During this period, if there is low fever, bathing can be used as a method to reduce body temperature, which is a form of physical cooling. During this time, it is important to pay attention to a light diet and avoid eating greasy foods. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
