Patient's question:
My son's school has recently had someone contract hand, foot, and mouth disease. It's said there's even one in his class. Oh dear, I'm a bit worried. What should be noted when dealing with hand, foot, and mouth disease? How can we sterilize and isolate to prevent infection? Children often have physical contact when playing together.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, the prevention of hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily involves paying attention to personal hygiene. During the peak season for hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is essential to avoid crowded places. Make sure to have the baby wash their hands before and after meals. It is also important to prevent colds and fever, as the baby's immune system is weakest at this time, making them more susceptible to hand, foot, and mouth disease. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
