What to do if hand, foot and mouth disease recurs

The weather in summer is quite hot, and it is also the season when some epidemic diseases spread. Children are relatively weak and are still in the process of development, making them more susceptible to virus invasion. Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common infectious disease in summer. The most important thing is that even if it is cured, it has a certain recurrence rate. Let us understand what to do if hand, foot and mouth disease recurs.

The recurrence of hand, foot and mouth disease must be taken seriously. Hand, foot and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enterovirus, which mostly occurs in children under 5 years old. It can cause herpes on the hands, feet, mouth and other parts of the body. A small number of children may develop complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, and aseptic meningoencephalitis. In some seriously ill children, if the disease progresses rapidly, it may lead to death.

The main route of transmission is through close contact between people. The virus in the patient's throat secretions and saliva can be transmitted through air droplets. The virus can be transmitted through daily contact with hands, towels, handkerchiefs, tooth cups, toys, eating utensils, milk containers, bedding, underwear, etc. contaminated with saliva, herpes fluid, and feces, and can also be transmitted orally. Develop good hygiene habits, wash hands before and after meals, do not drink raw water, do not eat raw or cold food, dry clothes and quilts frequently, and ventilate the room more often.
