Question
My daughter is 5 years and 4 months old and usually has a weak immune system. If she comes into contact with someone who has just recovered from hand, foot, and mouth disease after 4 days, can she get infected?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by the Coxsackie virus and is a childhood infectious disease. Even after treatment, there is still a possibility of spreading the virus to others. The virus can be transmitted through droplets, hand contact, and contaminated water. After infection, the body gains corresponding immunity, but there is still a possibility of spreading the virus to others.
