Patient's question:
Your son is sixteen months old. He recently contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease and recovered after being hospitalized for treatment. However, he seems to be acting a bit differently than before. I would like to ask what unusual symptoms are common in children who have recovered from hand, foot, and mouth disease at the age of sixteen months? What aspects should be paid attention to in the future to prevent recurrence?Doctor's answer:
If abnormal symptoms reappear, it should be due to inadequate recovery or caused by other diseases. Therefore, you should still go to the hospital for a thorough examination and then receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, to prevent relapse, you need to lower your physical fitness and immunity, as hand, foot, and mouth disease is contagious and primarily affects individuals with lower immunity.
