Patient's question:
The child is three years old and was hospitalized for hand, foot, and mouth disease for four days before being discharged. On the fourth day, while sleeping, the child experienced twitching in their hands and feet, which were rare after falling asleep. During the day, the child was in good spirits and showed no symptoms of convulsions. If you have any similar experiences, please share them with me. What could be the reason for this? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease has reappeared with symptoms of hand and foot twitching, and there is a high possibility of secondary neuron encephalitis! If hand, foot, and mouth disease reappears with symptoms of hand and foot twitching, it could be secondary neuron encephalitis, indicating a severe case of hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to seek further medical examination and treatment promptly at the hospital! Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children, and parents are advised to take their child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, children can be given sufficient care and attention, with special attention paid to their dietary needs, hoping for a quick recovery!
