Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could hand, foot, and mouth disease cause nail loss?Doctor's answer:
The enterovirus causing hand, foot, and mouth disease in mothers can also infect the gastrointestinal tract. Sometimes, it may also affect the peripheral nerves, so it's possible that about a month after the hand, foot, and mouth disease, the child's hands and feet may again show peeling. We don't need to solve this specially, just pay attention to local moisturizing for the child. Taking vitamin B12 can help nourish the surrounding nerves, and it generally takes about half a month to a month for them to recover completely!
