How to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease in a 22-month-old baby?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is quite common these days, especially for young babies who are difficult to avoid coming into contact with many unhygienic items or putting these unhygienic items into their mouths. Here are some methods to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease:
- Cultivate good hygiene habits, such as washing hands before and after meals, not drinking unboiled water, and not eating cold and raw foods.
- Try to avoid taking the baby to crowded public places with poor air circulation.
- Pay attention to maintaining a clean home environment, regular ventilation, and sunning clothes and bedding.
- Avoid contact with other children who have hand, foot, and mouth disease. These methods can effectively reduce the risk of the baby contracting hand, foot, and mouth disease. If necessary, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further understanding of the measures to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease.
