Question
How to Prevent Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease in a 10-Month-Old Baby?
Answer
In response to your question, preventing hand, foot, and mouth disease can be achieved through vaccination. There are many types of enteroviruses, most of which are self-limiting, and generally, basic passive immunity can prevent them. However, whether to get vaccinated should be assessed by a doctor based on the baby’s health condition and should be carried out under medical guidance. Furthermore, parents should also pay attention to the baby’s daily life, including hand hygiene, environmental cleanliness, and healthy eating habits to reduce the risk of the baby contracting hand, foot, and mouth disease. If the baby shows symptoms of infection, they should be taken to a specialized hospital for treatment promptly. Generally, giving children enough care and attention and focusing on their dietary issues can help them recover quickly.
