Patient's question:
At first, it was hand, foot, and mouth disease, and the symptoms disappeared after about 10 days of treatment. The hospital conducted a follow-up check-up, including a blood test and an echocardiogram. The blood test results were normal, but the echocardiogram showed elevated values in three phases, indicating myocardial damage.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your baby has hand-foot-mouth disease, which primarily manifests on the skin and mouth, but the virus can also affect vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. Your baby's condition has affected the heart, leading to elevated myocardial enzymes, and they are currently being treated. Additionally, it is important to strengthen care, pay attention to temperature changes and nutrition, wash hands before meals and after using the bathroom, maintain good oral hygiene, avoid mouth-to-mouth feeding, and disinfect feeding and eating utensils. Children should rest well, drink plenty of water, follow isolation measures, and avoid crowded places. Continue to follow up with the hospital. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
