What Could Be Done For Disease Caused By The Coxsackie Virus?

I recently am recovering from Hands foot and mouth disease caused by the Coxsackie virus. The initial sickness/blisters was in Feb2014. everything appeared to be healing but now my finger/toenails are separating from the nail beds. I am 56 yr old female. my 19 year old niece was also infected and is also loosing her fingernails. I understand the nails will grow back. But I am wondering if I should be concerned that other things may be happening to my body internally which I do not know about and should I see a doctor to be tested for anything? and if so is there a certain kind of doctor I should see?

Hi,

Am sorry to hear about this disease that you have reported. It is not uncommon with this disease condition. I recommend that you stay on and monitor at this time. The fact that your daughter is experiencing similar symptoms makes it more likely to be caused by the infection.

I hope this helps. i wish you well. Be calm and safe. Unless new information comes up, all would be fine soon.
