Question

Can children catch diseases and Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?

Answer

A five-and-a-half-year-old child who has come into contact with a Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease patient may become infected. To prevent the disease, the best approach is to avoid contact with patients, maintain personal hygiene by frequently bathing and changing clothes, and washing the face before meals and after using the toilet. If possible, children should be taken to the hospital for the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine. Wishing you a quick recovery.
