Question
A three-year-old child contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease and was hospitalized for four days before being discharged. On the fourth night, during sleep, the child experienced hand and foot tremors, which occurred less frequently during sleep. The child’s mental state was good during the day without any convulsive symptoms. What could be the possible cause of this situation?
Answer
If a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease exhibits hand and foot tremors, it is important to consider the possibility of encephalitis. The occurrence of hand and foot tremors along with hand, foot, and mouth disease may indicate severe hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is advisable to go to the hospital for further examination and treatment immediately. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children’s health, so parents should take their children to a specialized hospital for consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, parents should provide their children with adequate care and attention, pay attention to their dietary health, and hope that the child can recover soon.
