Patient's question:
My child got hand, foot, and mouth disease at kindergarten. He also vomited today. I want to ask, is vomiting severe with hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease has reappeared with symptoms of nausea. This is generally due to the body's resistance increasing during a fever, which can then damage the gastrointestinal function, making it easier to experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and decreased appetite. These symptoms usually subside once the fever subsides and the hand, foot, and mouth disease is fully recovered. It is recommended that you treat the hand, foot, and mouth disease without needing to take medication specifically for the gastrointestinal tract.
