Question

Today, my baby ate some sunflower seeds from a child who has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Is there anything to worry about? They also touched the child’s hand this afternoon. They are currently fine. Will there be any problems in two days?

Answer

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can be transmitted through various means, primarily through close contact with the infected person’s feces, vesicle fluid, and respiratory secretions. However, it is completely preventable and treatable if detected and treated early.
