Question
My husband has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Can it be transmitted to the children at home?
Answer
Do not let the children come into contact with your husband temporarily. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by a viral infection and is contagious. It is recommended that your husband maintain distance from the children to avoid infection. At the same time, antiviral medications can be administered, and a light diet should be observed for the condition to improve gradually. However, Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can have a greater impact on children, so it is advisable for parents to take their children to a specialized clinic for follow-up consultations and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, give children enough attention and care, especially pay attention to dietary issues, and hope they can recover quickly.
