Question
My son had hand, foot, and mouth disease before. With the disease being more prevalent recently, can someone who’s had it get it again?
Answer
Having had hand, foot, and mouth disease does carry a certain risk of recurrence. The specific situation is closely related to the child’s immunity and physical constitution. It is recommended to always pay attention to keeping your child clean and hygienic. At home, it’s important to regularly sterilize and maintain good dietary hygiene, focusing on light and simple foods as the basis. In addition, patients should maintain a regular lifestyle, take good cold prevention measures, eat more light and soft foods in their daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
