What should I do if I accidentally contact a patient with HFMD? In this case, you should wash your hands immediately because the most common way of spreading HFMD is through close contact, especially toys and things that a child with HFMD has played with and touched, and if another person continues to come into contact with them, there is a very high risk of being infected. Another way is through the gastrointestinal tract and the respiratory tract can also be transmitted. Among them, HFMD mainly infects children under five years of age, especially those under three years of age, where the incidence is the highest. Adults are rarely affected by HFMD, and even if they are, the symptoms are relatively mild, manifested only as a rash on the hands and feet, and generally do not require special treatment and can be cured in 3-5 days. Another is that HFMD is generally prevalent in the high season after May 1 every year, with the gradual warming of the weather, the prevalence of the epidemic began to increase to the hottest two months of summer the most prevalent, and lasted until about eleven, the weather is slowly becoming colder and colder HFMD is also less and less. Mild cases of HFMD can be treated at home with oral medications, and the most common oral medications are antiviral medications such as Chinese patent medicines, such as Pu Dilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid or Blue Scutellaria Oral Liquid. If there is oral herpes and the pain is severe, you can also spray your throat with a throat opener spray. If the hand, foot and mouth disease is more serious, the child has a recurrent fever, poor mental health, this situation is required to be hospitalized immediately.
