Question
What to Do If a Child at Home Has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Answer
There are blisters on the buttocks with red swelling around them, and a few small blisters on the feet. I am currently a pregnant woman, and there is a child at home with hand, foot, and mouth disease. When feeding the child, I shared utensils with him. Does this have any effect on my fetus? If there is an effect, what should I do? It’s best not to share utensils with the child! This may have some effect on you and your fetus! From now on, do not use the same spoon! It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up and treatment based on the results. Do not take medication arbitrarily; if you need to take medication, please follow your doctor’s advice! At the same time, maintain a positive attitude, as a positive mindset is very helpful for treating diseases. Also, pay attention to the child’s diet and avoid giving him spicy foods.
