Question
My son is 3.5 years old and has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. Besides the 10-month-old baby, what kind of isolation is needed? What should I pay attention to?

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is transmitted through the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and close contact. It is recommended to provide light, mild, sweet, and easily digestible food, as well as soft liquid or semi-liquid foods. Children should avoid going out and be isolated at home.
