Question
My baby has been living with my nephew who has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease for three days and has used the same spoon. Is there a possibility of transmission? The baby is currently in normal mental state, but is there any risk in the future?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can indeed be transmitted through shared meals and close contact. It is recommended to give the child Qingkailing Granules or Budilai Anti-inflammatory Oral Solution to prevent viral infection, while also maintaining a light diet and adequate hydration. Pay attention to the baby’s health status, and seek medical help promptly if needed.
