Question
If there’s a Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease patient in the family, can it be transmitted to other children?
Answer
Based on the description, if someone in the family has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, which is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, it is indeed necessary to take appropriate isolation measures. This includes maintaining good indoor air circulation, using diluted 84 disinfectant solution to clean the floors, and exposing bedding to sunlight for sterilization. Since children are also susceptible to Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, parents should immediately take their child to a doctor for treatment to avoid delaying the disease. It is very important for parents to provide enough care and attention to their children to help them recover from the illness promptly.
