Question
Can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease recur after an initial infection?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an intestinal infectious disease; it is not a lifelong immunity once infected. It is recommended that you often take your child for outdoor activities, get plenty of sunlight, do sterilization precautions, appropriately supplement vitamins, eat a balanced diet, and strengthen the body’s resistance. If your child is infected with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease again, timely medical consultation and treatment are very important to avoid various misunderstandings. Parents should carefully observe any changes in their child’s symptoms and do their best to help their child receive timely treatment for the disease.
