Question
The child with severe hand, foot, and mouth disease was hospitalized for a week and is in good spirits. They have been discharged. However, the doctor suggested undergoing a brain MRI at another hospital.
Answer
Hello, it is necessary to undergo a brain MRI. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by viral infection and can be treated with antiviral drugs such as acyclovir. It is recommended to seek a follow-up consultation and detailed examination at a regular hospital or a third-grade A-level pediatric department, and pay attention to body temperature and drink plenty of water. Since the child is affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents should immediately take their child to the doctor for treatment and avoid self-medicating to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is crucial to monitor their child’s condition in a timely manner and do everything possible to help their child receive timely treatment.
