Question
After more than ten days of treatment, all other symptoms have disappeared except for the right hand weakness. How should the symptom of right hand weakness be treated?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, commonly occurring in children under 5 years old. Right hand weakness may require the use of antiviral medications, cooling and detoxifying Chinese herbs, vitamins B and C, etc. If complications arise, intramuscular injection of immune globulin can be considered. In addition, during the illness period, it is important to enhance the child’s care, especially oral hygiene, and choose non-irritating liquid foods for their diet. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention as soon as possible.
