Patient's question:
At the age of 4, he contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, which led to the development of blisters. After treatment, he came home a year later. During his naps at night, his head would move slightly, and his hands and feet would constantly move around. This happened every night, sometimes accompanied by a few laughs. When asked, he couldn't explain it clearly. He said he couldn't suppress the movement of his head and feet and wondered if it was related to meningitis caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described: Hand, foot, and mouth disease can lead to meningitis, but it doesn't manifest symptoms only after a year. Generally, symptoms may reappear during the severe phase of hand, foot, and mouth disease. I suggest you don't worry. The situation you mentioned is not meningitis caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. Children, like adults, dream, and the baby's reaction during deep sleep is normal. It is not meningitis.
