Does hand, foot and mouth pneumonia have sequelae?

Pneumonia, a complication of hand, foot and mouth disease, may have sequelae. Because each child has a different physical condition and severity of illness, the sequelae will also be different.

1. No sequelae

1. Good physical fitness: If the child has good physical fitness and actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment during the illness, there will generally be no obvious sequelae.

2. Mild condition: If the child only has mild symptoms such as coughing and sputum, there may be no sequelae after active and effective treatment.

2. Situations with sequelae

If the child has a poor physical constitution and no timely measures are taken to treat the illness, causing the condition to worsen, thereby inducing diseases such as encephalitis and myocarditis, it may affect the nervous system, causing mental retardation, limb weakness, etc.

It is recommended that parents should always pay attention to the physical changes of their children. If any abnormality is found, they should seek medical examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease. In addition, in daily life, they should pay attention to protective work, avoid going to crowded places, and wear masks when going out. At the same time, they should also pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat fresh fruits and vegetables and foods rich in high-quality protein, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and are beneficial to health.
