Should children with severe hand, foot, and mouth disease undergo other tests?

Patient's question:

Child with severe hand, foot, and mouth disease, stayed for a week, now in good spirits, discharged! The doctor asked me to go to another hospital for a brain MRI!

Doctor's answer:

Hello. If necessary, hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection and can be treated with antiviral drugs such as acyclovir. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital or a Class III-A hospital for pediatric follow-up, thorough examination, and treatment. Pay attention to body temperature and drink more water. Children are affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take their children to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent blind medication that only alleviates symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely monitor their child's condition and do everything possible to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
