Patient's question:
Hello doctor. Someone at my son's kindergarten has already contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. So, I would like to ask the doctor how to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a highly contagious illness that is prone to spread among children. In terms of prevention, the main focus is on enhancing nutrition, eating more fruits and vegetables, consuming light and easily digestible foods, exercising regularly to strengthen the body, wearing masks when going out to prevent catching colds, avoiding contact with sick children, and minimizing visits to public places or crowded areas. If adults have come into contact with sick children, they should pay attention to timely sterilization to prevent indirect transmission.
