Patient's question:
This year, for some reason, hand, foot, and mouth disease has become particularly prevalent. Especially among primary school children. Recently, my child told me that his classmates often drink from his water cup, and he's been very upset about it. I'm also very sad that my child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. I want to know how to prevent inflammation of hand, foot, and mouth.Doctor's answer:
General hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection, and it can be transmitted through everyday contact. Therefore, in this situation, children should pay attention to their personal belongings and avoid using them indiscriminately with others. It is important to drink more water and maintain a light diet. Appropriate use of heat-clearing and detoxifying medications can help prevent inflammation. At school, children who have recurrent cases should be isolated and temporarily excluded from attending classes to prevent transmission.
