Question
The child contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease at the end of September, and in mid-October, it was discovered that the nails began to fall off.
Answer
The doctor asked whether the child had a habit of biting their fingers and pointed out that hand, foot, and mouth disease usually does not lead to nail loss. Additionally, the time gap between the onset of the disease and the nail loss is relatively long, which may be related to a deficiency in nutritional elements. It is recommended that parents bring the child to a specialist doctor for a follow-up examination and for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is suggested to give the child juice to consume vitamins, prevent indigestion, and hope the child can recover soon.
