Question
Is a baby’s broken nail a sign of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby has a broken nail and has previously had hand, foot, and mouth disease. The nail break is unlikely to be related to the disease. The most common cause is a fungal infection. It is recommended to observe first and if the condition persists, take the child to the hospital for examination. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be harmful to children, so parents should take their children to the doctor immediately. Avoid using unknown medications blindly and use medication appropriately. Parents should pay timely attention to their child’s condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment.
