Treatment Suggestions for Nail Loss After Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Question

Two months after a child contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, the nail surface began to peel off. What treatment should be considered?

Answer

Based on the description and photo observation, the child’s nail loss may not be directly related to hand, foot, and mouth disease. Possible causes include injury or calcium deficiency. It is recommended that parents carefully observe and consider appropriate calcium supplementation. If there is concern about a connection with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is advised to bring the child to a specialist doctor for a re-examination and receive professional treatment suggestions. Daily, providing juice can aid digestion of vitamins and prevent gastrointestinal discomfort, hoping for the child’s quick recovery.
