Question

A four-year-old child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, and visited last night. The concern is that the eight-month-old baby may be indirectly infected.

Answer

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is somewhat contagious, but the risk of indirect infection is low. It is recommended to bring the child to a specialist for a follow-up visit and to receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can give the child some juice to help with digestion and vitamin intake to prevent gastrointestinal problems. I hope the child can recover quickly.
