Questions
How can we prevent Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease from spreading? Is the presence of small blisters on the tongue due to a fever a sign of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Answers
When children exhibit related symptoms, they should seek medical attention promptly and receive treatment at home. Parents should dry or disinfect their children’s clothing in a timely manner and disinfect their feces. For children with mild diseases, hospitalization is generally not required; they should rest and receive treatment at home to reduce cross-infection. It is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital for a check-up and diagnosis to confirm whether they have Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease so that appropriate treatment can be administered.
