Patient's question:
On the 12th of the second week, my child was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. His spirits and appetite were all good. Today, he went for a follow-up check-up and all symptoms have improved. Today, he had an electrocardiogram done to check for heart muscle damage. Regarding the current treatment and outcomes, the hand, foot, and mouth disease has been resolved, but the heart muscle damage has not yet been treated. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If the child is in a good mental state and has a normal appetite, it is recommended to wait for a few more days before starting treatment. For a child in this condition, if there are no obvious discomforts, it may be better to consider not treating them initially and just give some anti-inflammatory medication. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be quite harmful to children, so it is advised that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention, pay close attention to their diet, and hope that the child can recover as soon as possible!
