The transmission route is fecal-oral, and only a few are respiratory. That is to say, hand, foot and mouth disease is caused by eating and drinking contaminated beverages, fruits, food, etc., and is not transmitted through breathing in crowded crowds. Hand, foot and mouth disease is a new infectious disease that has become popular in recent years. The age of onset can range from infants of 4 months to adults of 30 years old, but the highest incidence rate is among infants under 3 years old.

The clinical manifestations are small grayish-white blisters or red papules the size of millet or mung beans with red surroundings appearing on the cheeks, tongue, soft palate, hard palate, inner lips, palms and soles of feet, elbows, knees, buttocks and vulva of the child. After the herpes in the mouth breaks, ulcers will appear. The child will suffer from unbearable pain, cry from time to time, be irritable, drool, be unable to eat, have yellow urine, and in severe cases may be accompanied by fever, runny nose, cough and other symptoms.

Although hand, foot and mouth disease is not a critical disease, it spreads quickly and is prone to epidemic. The virus can be transmitted to healthy children through saliva droplets or food that has been bitten by flies carrying the virus, through the nose or mouth, or by direct contact. Once the disease occurs, the child should be isolated in time. In addition, the disease has obvious seasonality, generally starting in April and May and reaching a peak in summer, so be careful to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease at the turn of spring and summer. To prevent hand, foot and mouth disease, you should pay attention to indoor air circulation and appropriate temperature, drink plenty of boiled water or cool drinks, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

During the epidemic season, you can use 15 grams of the Chinese medicine Isatis root to boil 250 ml of soup and take it frequently, one dose a day for 3 to 4 days. Traditional Chinese medicine is the most effective treatment for this disease. Generally, oral heat-clearing, detoxifying and dampness-clearing Chinese medicine is combined with oral ointments. The child can recover within 3 to 7 days and the prognosis is good. If critically ill children are not treated promptly, they may develop complications such as encephalitis and myocarditis. In terms of nursing, the child should rinse his or her mouth with warm water regularly, avoid eating hot, cold, spicy or irritating foods, eat light and soft meals, and drink plenty of warm water.
