How to Effectively Prevent Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?

Question

Recently, I’ve observed small blisters on children’s hands and feet, along with similar symptoms in the buttocks and oral cavity. How should one effectively prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

To effectively prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is recommended to take the following measures: strengthen personal hygiene, maintain oral cleanliness, and avoid bacterial infections. Rinse with warm water after meals, ensure good indoor air circulation and temperature. Encourage the consumption of plain water or cold drinks, and incorporate fresh vegetables and fruits into the diet. Regularly clean children’s toys and other items thoroughly. During the outbreak of hand, foot, and mouth disease, avoid taking children to crowded public places to reduce the risk of infection.
