Patient's question:
The half-moon is relatively close to us, and hand, foot, and mouth disease has become more prevalent. It feels quite sad.Treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: Can boiling vinegar in the room prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, which frequently occurs in children under the age of 5. It can lead to maculopapular and vesicular rashes on the hands, feet, and mouth. In some cases, it may cause complications such as encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, meningitis, pulmonary edema, and circulatory failure.The sources of infection are current patients and asymptomatic carriers, primarily spreading through close contact with the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and secretions of the population. Once hand, foot, and mouth disease is suspected, the child should seek medical attention promptly and avoid contact with others. Isolation is generally required for 2 weeks.
Items used by the child should be thoroughly disinfected: those that can be soaked may be immersed in chlorine-containing disinfectant solutions, while items that cannot be soaked should be exposed to sunlight.
