Does hand, foot, and mouth disease cause diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could hand, foot, and mouth disease cause diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is generally not the case. The main symptoms are red blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, which can be treated with antiviral drugs. There are many causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
