Question
How should hand, foot, and mouth disease be prevented?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a highly contagious illness that often spreads among children. Prevention measures include enhancing nutrition, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, consuming light and easily digestible foods, exercising regularly to strengthen the body’s resistance, wearing masks when going out, keeping warm, avoiding contact with sick children, and trying to stay away from public places. Adults who come into contact with infected children should disinfect themselves promptly to prevent indirect transmission.
