Question
How should myocardial damage caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease in children be treated?
Answer
Hello! Your baby has contracted hand-foot-mouth disease, which manifests on the skin and mouth but can also affect vital organs like the heart, brain, and kidneys. Your baby’s heart is affected, leading to elevated myocardial enzymes, and they are currently under treatment. Additionally, strengthen care by paying attention to temperature and nutrition, washing hands before meals and after using the toilet, maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding face-to-face feeding, sterilizing feeding utensils and tableware, ensuring your child gets adequate rest, drinks plenty of water, practices isolation, and avoids crowded places. Continue to visit the hospital for follow-up. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
