Question
A child has recovered from hand, foot, and mouth disease and has been confirmed as free of complications after four days of intravenous treatment by the doctor. However, the child is now experiencing symptoms of malaise and drowsiness, and the possibility of meningitis has been ruled out. What could be the possible reasons for this situation?
Answer
Children typically exhibit good mental states after recovering from hand, foot, and mouth disease. If drowsiness and poor mental state occur, the possibility of concurrent encephalitis cannot be ruled out, and a re-examination should be considered. It is recommended to closely monitor the child’s development and seek timely medical attention if necessary, choosing appropriate treatment methods based on the results of examinations. Wishing the child a healthy growth!
