Question

What should I do when hand, foot, and mouth disease recurs?

Answer

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute infectious disease caused by two types of enteroviruses and requires isolation treatment. More than 20 different viruses can lead to hand, foot, and mouth disease, so it’s not a one-time occurrence; some children can have multiple episodes within a year. It’s important to visit the hospital for follow-up promptly. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. Once family members notice any symptoms in their child, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. Pay close attention to the child’s dietary issues and recommend a balanced digestive nutrition during daily life. We hope the child can receive professional treatment to aid in recovery!
