Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. I'm wondering if it's hand, foot, and mouth disease, and if they still need to get vaccinated for it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly caused by enterovirus transmission. There are mainly two types of viruses that cause it, so it is still possible to receive preventive vaccination after contracting hand, foot, and mouth disease. The vaccine is mainly for the enteric EV71 virus, which is mainly capable of causing severe hand, foot, and mouth disease. When suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is necessary to pay attention to preventing close contact with others to avoid reinfection.
