Question

Can daily contact with a child suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease lead to infection in the family?

Answer

Currently, there is no specific preventive method for hand, foot, and mouth disease, so monitoring and early detection of cases are crucial. It is recommended to conduct morning health checks and report outbreaks, isolate and treat suspected cases in a timely manner, and disinfect contaminated items. Maintain environmental hygiene, food hygiene, and personal hygiene, reduce taking children to crowded places, and lower the risk of infection.
