How to isolate hand, foot and mouth in a second child family, and do two children in the family need

Once parents find that their baby is infected with hand, foot and mouth disease, they should take their children to the doctor in time to avoid contact with the outside world, and generally need to be isolated for 2-3 weeks. Baby's used feeding bottles, cups and other items should be thoroughly disinfected, and can be soaked in a special disinfectant, and items that should not be soaked should be exposed to the sun.

Open more windows in the child's room to ventilate the room to keep the air fresh and circulated, and the temperature should be appropriate. Families with conditions can be fumigated and disinfected every day. Minimize human visits and prohibit smoking in the home.

Isolate in time to cut off the route of transmission.

Children with HFMD are most contagious in the first week after the onset of symptoms, excreting the virus in the stool for 4-6 weeks and the respiratory tract for less than 3 weeks.

Families with two children, if Dabao is infected with hand, foot and mouth disease, should be isolated in time, and the specific practices include:

Manage Dabao's stool well, and wash hands with soap and water after using the toilet or changing diapers.

Manage Dabao's oral and respiratory secretions: wear a mask, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing or coughing, and wash your hands with soap and water after sneezing or blowing your nose.

Cut Dabao's nails short so that the rash on his body is not broken.

Tableware, cups, and toiletries are dedicated to special personnel and are not mixed.

Try to divide the two babies into two rooms and not share the same room.

Erbao's caregivers wash their hands frequently, especially before feeding or serving meals.

Did the three children be together before the child with HFMD was hospitalized? If so, there is no need to isolate anymore, the child is contagious 2-3 days before the onset of the disease, and the contagion is already contagious. If it is an ordinary hand, foot and mouth disease, you can go home for isolation and observation, there is no need to use drugs, there is no specific drug for the drug, it will take about a week to heal whether it is cured or not, and the drug will damage the child's liver and kidneys.

If it is a severe hand, foot and mouth disease, it must be discharged after being cured in a designated hospital**. Common hand, foot and mouth disease mainly lies in nursing, fever can be physically cooled, try not to use drugs to reduce fever, which is conducive to the body's immune function. Give your child plenty of water and homemade juices and eat light foods.

The family prevention measures are to open more windows for ventilation, dry bedding, and standardize hand washing before meals and after using the toilet. After the onset of the other two children, there is no need to go to the hospital because they do not have high fever and comorbidities such as encephalitis, pneumonia, or myocarditis**.

Children wash their hands frequently, bathe frequently, and change their clothes frequently.

Also, disinfect more.

Try not to let the other 2 children come into contact with him.

It's a bit hard to do! Three children do not touch, it seems impossible. If convenient, leave the two children to a relative for a few days. If not, the other two children should take the medicine at the same time to avoid infection.

Wash your hands frequently, ventilate them frequently, and do not touch anything in your child.

Be careful not to allow the sick child to come into contact with the other two children; Sick children's saliva, sputum and other secretions should be wrapped in toilet paper and thrown into the garbage bin, and the child's feces should be collected, disinfected and thrown into the toilet, not discarded at will, and the bedpan should be disinfected at the same time; Caregivers wash their hands before touching the child, after changing diapers, or after handling the child's faeces; Clothes, toys, tableware, pillows and bedding of sick children should be kept hygienic, and children's daily utensils should be disinfected; Open windows frequently for ventilation. If a child in kindergarten is sick, you should tell the teacher as soon as possible, and do not rush your child to kindergarten, but wait a week after all the symptoms disappear to prevent infecting other children. Generally, there is no need to be hospitalized if the symptoms are mild, just stay at home and pay attention to rest to reduce cross-infection.

There was no need between the two of them, but they needed to be isolated from the other children.

It is recommended to isolate temporarily, because hand and mouth disease is transmitted by the virus, and if it is not now, it does not mean that it will not be in the future, because each child's own resistance is different. Theoretically, living in the same home, as long as it is not in the same room, is relatively good, but you have to keep the home ventilated.

Hand, foot and mouth disease is not only transmitted through the digestive tract, but also through the respiratory tract and close contact, because the virus has many subtypes and constantly mutates, unlike measles, mumps and other diseases that can obtain long-lasting immunity, and there are no specific antibodies in breast milk, so isolation is recommended.

It is best not to touch other small children to avoid infecting other people.

If you have 2 children with the same HFMD virus, there is no point in isolating them. It's better to do environmental disinfection. (Physical method of sun exposure).

Hand, foot and mouth disease cured.

After that, it is still infectious, and you need to continue to isolate for a week before you can take the baby out, and the baby needs to rest more when he is sick, so give the baby more nutrition to regulate the body.
