Patient's question:
Our child recently contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease and stayed in the hospital for a week. However, we've recently noticed that their nails are falling off after being diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should we do? Because during our hospital stay, we took a lot of antibiotics and received intravenous fluids for 7 days. Now, we're worried whether it's due to the medication.Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a disease caused by enteroviruses. After suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, nail shedding may occur. It is necessary to protect the skin and nail areas. You can apply some moisturizing cream, supplement vitamins, and give your child more fresh vegetables and fruits. Drink more warm water to promote metabolism. Avoid eating stimulating foods, such as spicy foods and junk food.
