Hello doctor,

My 2-year-old son has been diagnosed with hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Is there a possibility for it to recur? Can we prevent it?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your question. I understand your concern. Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is a viral infection that does not recur. I suggest you to increase his water intake. Also, give him more fruits that are rich in anti oxidants.

I hope this helps.

I will be happy to help you further.

I wish you good health.

Thank you.
