Will Visiting the Hospital Lead to Cross-Infection with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?

Question

With many patients in the hospital, I am worried whether my three-year-old child might contract the hand, foot, and mouth virus during the medical treatment process.

Answer

Hospitals are breeding grounds for bacteria. With weaker immunity, three-year-old children may be susceptible to contracting hand, foot, and mouth disease in the hospital environment. It is recommended that parents avoid taking their children to the hospital unless necessary and consider specialized pediatric hospitals.
