Reasons and Treatment for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease During Pregnancy After Four Months

Question

I’ve been pregnant for four months and got infected with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease a few days ago. I had a slight fever but it’s completely gone now. The only issue is that I keep sweating during my afternoon nap. Can you explain why I got infected with HFMD during my fourth month of pregnancy?

Answer

Based on your description, the infection with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) during your fourth month of pregnancy may be due to low immunity. It is suggested that you consume more fruits and vegetables regularly, avoid spicy foods, and adjust the air conditioning to around 28 degrees Celsius during your afternoon naps. Additionally, if your child is affected by HFMD, please take them to a doctor for immediate treatment and avoid using any medication without a prescription. Parents should provide sufficient care and attention to their children and help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
