Question
A four-year-old daughter has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, and her mother is worried about whether she can continue breastfeeding.
Answer
Based on the information provided, you can continue breastfeeding. The hand, foot, and mouth disease virus is primarily transmitted through food and respiratory droplets. Your symptoms are currently unchangeable, but you can take ribavirin tablets and antiviral oral liquid for treatment. At the same time, maintain good ventilation in the room and pay attention to dietary hygiene. You can boil vinegar for disinfection and sterilization. Children may be threatened by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents should take their children to the hospital for timely medical treatment and avoid self-administering advertised drugs while using medication correctly. For parents, it is important to closely monitor the changes in their child’s symptoms and do their best to help their child receive timely treatment for the disease.
