What will happen if a child coughs and vomits after having hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

I am a 26-year-old woman and usually feel well, but recently I've been experiencing some unusual sensations. Could you please explain: What could happen if a child has coughing and vomiting after having hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

When coughing, stimulation of the throat may cause nausea and dry coughing again, which should be a normal phenomenon. If this child repeatedly coughs, there should be a high suspicion of tracheitis or pneumonia, and further careful examination should be conducted. Then, the patient needs to follow a dietary discipline, maintain regular routines, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
