Question
What should be done when hand, foot, and mouth disease leads to coma?
Answer
This situation is quite serious and may be accompanied by complications such as neurological involvement, cardiovascular failure, or severe myocarditis. Based on past treatment experiences, in the ICU, respiratory support is provided through a ventilator, and low fever is present without symptoms of rash or vomiting. Treatment measures mainly include dehydration and lowering intracranial pressure, nutritional support for neurons, and symptomatic support. It is recommended that you follow the treatment guidance of your local doctor.
