What is the reason for hand, foot, and mouth disease with cough and stuffy nose?

Patient's question:

Daughter is eleven and a half months old. On May 28th, she had a fever and was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. There were only small blisters in her throat, with no other symptoms. She received three days of intravenous saline treatment and is now mostly recovered. However, she is now coughing and has a stuffy nose. She is still taking and using Hou Jian spray.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the patient's cough and stuffy nose may be due to tracheal infection after hand, foot, and mouth disease treatment. First, measure the temperature and pay attention to whether the baby has a fever. For treatment, options include oral erythromycin granules and children's lung clearing and phlegm resolving granules. If the cough is severe and symptoms such as shortness of breath occur, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis.
