Question
Lately, my boss has said that I’m not in good spirits, which is affecting my work. In fact, I don’t want to be like this either. I can’t sleep at night, and I occasionally feel anxious, which isn’t very comfortable. I’m worried that this will affect my physical health and work. I want to ask how long after Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease does a patient need to be isolated before it’s no longer contagious to others?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a childhood infectious disease that requires isolation treatment for patients. Generally speaking, the disease becomes non-contagious within one week after recovery. If a child is diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment and pay attention to the child’s diet and hygiene habits, avoiding irritating and cold foods to help the child recover faster.
