Question
Based on your description, if a 3.5-year-old boy has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, can another 11-year-old boy easily be infected?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by a virus. The disease is mainly transmitted through contact and respiratory routes, and is easily spread among children. According to your situation, it is recommended to isolate the child with hand, foot, and mouth disease. This condition typically requires antiviral treatment, with the course of the disease usually improving gradually within a week. As for whether the 11-year-old can easily be infected, due to lack of relevant information, an accurate judgment cannot be made. Please closely monitor his condition and take preventive measures.
