Question
After the baby recovers from hand, foot, and mouth disease, the nail roots show cracks. Ask about the cause and treatment method.
Answer
According to the description, the nail fractures may be caused by paronychia. It is suggested to use iodine tincture for disinfection and to pay attention to foot hygiene. There is no need to receive a preventive shot temporarily. If symptoms persist or worsen, please promptly take the child to a dermatology department for consultation.
