Disinfection and isolation: prevention and treatment of hand, foot and mouth disease
Hand-foot-mouth disease is a common infectious disease, which is mainly transmitted through the mouth, skin and feces. This article will introduce the prevention and treatment of hand, foot and mouth disease to help parents better protect their children's health.

Thoroughly disinfect

Toys, tableware and other items used by children need to be thoroughly disinfected. We can soak or boil it with chlorine-containing disinfectant. For items that cannot be boiled or soaked, they can be exposed to the sun.

Keep the air circulating

In order to ensure the children's living environment is fresh and the temperature is suitable, we need to open the window regularly for ventilation. We can also disinfect the air with lactic acid. Add 2ml lactic acid to every room of 10 square meter, and add appropriate amount of water to heat and evaporate.

stay in bed

During the week-long recovery period, children should stay in bed and drink plenty of warm water. Diet should be light and easy to digest, and liquid food can be tried when there is erosion in the mouth. Avoid cold, spicy, salty and other irritating foods.

Rinse your mouth after meals

In order to keep your mouth clean and prevent bacterial infection, rinse your mouth with warm water after every meal. When there is erosion in the oral cavity, chlortetracycline and cod liver oil can be applied to relieve pain and accelerate the healing of erosion.

change clothes

Ensure that children's clothes and bedding are clean, change frequently, and be wide and soft. At the same time, you need to trim your nails regularly to prevent scratching the rash.

Low temperature heat treatment

The low-grade fever caused by hand, foot and mouth disease usually does not need special treatment, and children can drink plenty of water. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, antipyretics should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Disease observation

Parents should closely observe the changes of their children's condition and go to the hospital in time when they find symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, vomiting, pale face, crying or drowsiness.
