How did the son's fingernails fall off after recovering from hand, foot, and mouth disease at one week old?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The causes of spontaneous nail shedding include iron deficiency anemia, calcium deficiency, lack of vitamins and trace elements, malnutrition, etc. It is more common to see trace element deficiencies, which can manifest as thinness, poor appetite, frequent colds, and low immunity. It is recommended to have a trace element test at the hospital for a clear diagnosis. Generally, treatment involves supplementing trace elements, such as with a product like "Xiao Shierkang."
