Question
A one-year-old baby is suspected of having myocarditis and has recently been diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. Will the disease spread to the heart? Please answer by a medical professional. Thank you.
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease patients have the possibility of being infected with cardiac enzymes. Patients diagnosed with myocarditis can be treated with intravenous nutritional myocardial drugs, which usually heal within a week. For Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, parents should promptly discover the symptoms and take their child to a regular hospital for consultation. At the same time, they should pay attention to the child’s care issues, such as appropriate diet and avoiding cold food. We hope the child can receive professional treatment and recover soon.
