Question
Can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease be transmitted by adults? If my child has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, I have to take care of him at night and work during the day. I also come into contact with many children at work. Will this transmit the disease to other children?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease does not spread to other children through adults caring for the child. It is recommended to treat the child with antiviral medication and ensure they get plenty of rest. Family members should also take the child to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and continue treatment under the doctor’s guidance. Additionally, pay attention to the child’s diet and hope they recover soon.
