Patient's question:
An eight-year-old boy got a very mild hand, foot, and mouth disease. He only had one or two sores on his hands and in his mouth, with no other symptoms. The doctor prescribed some medication. Now the sores on his hands have disappeared, and those in his mouth have mostly healed. He has been isolated for four days. Do you still need to be isolated?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease isolation generally requires seven to ten days. Four days is indeed quite short, so let the child endure a bit longer! Although the child's symptoms are mild, they are still contagious. Avoid contact with other children and provide the child with high-nutrient, easily digestible food. This is the entire introduction to "How to deal with a very mild hand, foot, and mouth disease in an eight-year-old boy?" Finally, wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
