Patient's question:
My child recently got hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should I do? Will the nails change due to hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The child recently contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, but it can be cured with active treatment, so there's no need to worry too much. Hand, foot, and mouth disease will never cause abnormalities in the child's nails. The areas on the child's hands and feet with rashes can be treated with acyclovir ointment; the mouth can be treated with honey and vitamin B2. Encourage the child to drink more water and consider oral antiviral liquids or ribavirin granules. Participate actively in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
