How long is someone not contagious after recovering from hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

A 5-year-old child, without fever, has a very small amount of rash on their hands, feet, and mouth. There are more rashes on the knees and groin area. After taking medicine for a week, the rashes completely disappeared. How long can you play with the children? It will never spread to other children. What kind of help do you need: How long can you play with the children? It will never spread to other children.

Doctor's answer:

The virus of hand, foot, and mouth disease is generally detectable in a patient's body for 3-5 weeks. Currently, three weeks after recovery is generally considered the isolation period. In other words, after recovery, three weeks are sufficient. The answer above is hoped to help you. Thank you.
