Question
What are the preventive measures for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Daily items, utensils, and other contaminated items should be disinfected. The stool and other excretions of the infected child can be soaked in a 3% sodium hypochlorite solution. Clothing, bedding, toys, towels, and other items should be exposed to sunlight for drying. It is important to maintain good ventilation in the room. Parents should pay attention to not let their children develop the habit of picky eating and should provide a balanced diet.
