Question

I have peeling skin on my hands and blisters on my feet, along with sores in my mouth. The hospital diagnosed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should pregnant women be treated for this condition?

Answer

Based on your description, pregnant women can indeed contract hand, foot, and mouth disease. Since their immune resistance is lower during pregnancy, it is recommended to avoid contact with the source of infection as much as possible. Treatment should focus on personal hygiene, maintaining oral cleanliness, ensuring good ventilation and appropriate temperature in the living environment, and consuming fresh fruits and vegetables. It is also suggested that parents take their children to a specialist clinic for a follow-up examination and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can give your child some juice to drink to supplement vitamins and prevent diarrhea, hoping for a quick recovery.
