Question
My daughter is under 7 years old and was diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease this Tuesday. She has also seen a doctor and been prescribed oral medication to be taken twice a day. There have been no other symptoms noticed so far; her mood is normal. She has a few red spots on her hands, feet, and buttocks. Can she go out for travel?
Answer
Currently, the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease in infants is not yet fully cured. It is not recommended to go out as it is a contagious disease that can infect many other people. Therefore, it is best to isolate and treat at home. Suggestion: The baby’s symptoms are mild but still present. There are many types of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, all of which are contagious. Now the baby has red spots, which means it still has contagious, so it is not advisable to go out.
