Question
What are the precautions to be taken in daily life for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
The most important thing in daily life for hand, foot, and mouth disease is to maintain good hand hygiene by washing hands before meals. Ensure good ventilation in the room, and in severe cases, you can use disinfectant to mop the floor for sterilization. The disease is self-limiting and generally does not require antibiotic medication apart from symptomatic treatment. To prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease in children, attention should be paid to environmental and personal hygiene. Kindergartens and homes should be ventilated regularly and kept clean and hygienic.
