What should I do if I get hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

Here are the translations:
Family members have had two consecutive children with hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should be done if you get hand, foot, and mouth disease? Should children with hand, foot, and mouth disease be isolated?

Doctor's answer:

If hand, foot, and mouth disease reoccurs, this infectious disease requires isolation treatment, and it can be transmitted through airborne droplets, toys, and other means. It is necessary to develop the habit of washing hands before meals and after using the restroom. Hand, foot, and mouth disease generally has a good prognosis, primarily caused by viral infection, and antiviral medications can be used. Symptomatic treatment is also required. If the condition recurs with frequent fever and irritability, active hospital treatment is necessary to prevent viral meningitis.
