Question
Are you worried that your 1-year-old baby, who has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, might transmit it to other family members?
Answer
Based on the description, your child has blisters on their palms, soles, and buttocks but has no fever and is in good spirits. The child with hand, foot, and mouth disease is contagious. It is recommended to rest more and try to avoid contact with others to prevent cross-infection. Ribavirin can be used for antiviral treatment. If your child is troubled by hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents should take their child to the doctor immediately, avoid self-medication, and provide sufficient care and attention to help them receive timely treatment.
