Patient's question:
My child is going to school to study, and I am very worried about her. Hello doctor, is hand, foot, and mouth disease highly contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. If a child in the same class is diagnosed with the disease, they should be stopped from attending school and immediately isolated. It is important to maintain good ventilation in the indoor environment. Generally, antiviral drugs and autoimmune regulators can be administered, and body temperature should be measured twice a day. Timely medication and symptomatic treatment should be provided.
