Question

Will Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease spread? What were the treatment situations and outcomes in the past?

Answer

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a common infectious disease that can be transmitted through droplets from the digestive or respiratory tract, as well as through contact with items contaminated by feces, blister fluid, or respiratory secretions from an infected child. If your child has close contact with another child in the hospital, there is a risk of infection. Based on his current condition today, there have been no adverse reactions, so the risk of transmission is currently low. However, you still need to closely monitor your child’s physical condition. If he develops a fever and rashes appear on his hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks, please seek medical attention promptly. It’s important to note that Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is relatively common in infants and young children. In most cases, symptoms are mild, and many patients can recover through self-healing. To prevent the spread of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, it is recommended to maintain good hygiene habits, wash hands frequently, avoid contact with infected children, regularly clean toys and other items to reduce the risk of infection.
