Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is it possible for hand, foot, and mouth disease to lead to encephalitis?Doctor's answer:
The child has hand, foot, and mouth disease and has already had a fever. Now the child is in a coma. In this situation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a CT scan to check for encephalitis. It can be observed to see if it is encephalitis. Generally, hand, foot, and mouth disease can be treated with oral antiviral medications and topical antiviral creams. Pay attention to hygiene, and use soap and water to wash the child's hands and feet every day. Try to avoid taking the child to crowded places, and keep the room well-ventilated at all times.
