Question
My child suddenly became weak in their legs. On the third day, we discovered they had contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. After a week in the hospital with hand, foot, and mouth disease, they were discharged but still had difficulty walking. Now, a month later, the condition has worsened. Please doctors, what treatment methods do you suggest?
Answer
If the leg weakness persists, it’s necessary to go to the hospital for further examination because if it’s just hand, foot, and mouth disease, this situation shouldn’t recur. Most children recover after the illness. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. Once parents notice their child’s symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child’s care issues. It’s recommended to have appropriate diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope the child can receive professional treatment to aid in their recovery!
