Question
There have been cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease in the kindergarten recently. As a parent, I’m worried about my child catching this illness. How can I effectively prevent pediatric hand, foot, and mouth disease? What are the measures that are easy for children to accept?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a highly contagious childhood infectious disease. To prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is essential to cut off the transmission routes and reduce the child’s opportunity to come into contact with sick children. Try to minimize taking your child to crowded places, ensure they wash their hands frequently, regularly disinfect personal items, maintain good ventilation indoors, and ensure a balanced diet. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables can help strengthen your child’s resistance.
