Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, my baby developed some small red rashes on their hands and feet. Upon careful examination, it was identified as hand, foot, and mouth disease. After active treatment, the condition healed completely. However, after recovery, the baby often experiences muscle tremors while sleeping. When I hold them down, the tremors stop. What should I do about muscle tremors during deep sleep after recovering from hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a very serious contagious childhood illness. In the short term, the child's body may become weaker, and some kind of sequelae may be left behind. For example, the one you mentioned now is likely a sequelae. As long as the child's diet and mental state are normal, you can wait a few more days and carefully observe. It should gradually recover. During this period, it's important to give the child more nutritious and healthy foods.
