As if the corona is not scary enough, it brings with it all sorts of weird side effects.
A U.S. mother recently shared her frightening experience in a Facebook post after her five-month-old daughter's hands and feet turned blue due to a rare condition related to COVID. The mother, Lauren Grant, a nurse at an Ohio hospital, said her daughter, Maddie, suffered from a condition Known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), the
symptoms are reminiscent of Kawasaki disease or toxic shock syndrome, in that they attack several vital body systems at once and create extreme inflammation in the body, without proper and rapid treatment. The causes of MIS-C remain a mystery, but about 99 percent of children with Corona syndrome have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease.

"Madi's inflammatory reaction appears to have been in the blood vessels and heart. Yes, that's exactly what you may have heard about it in the news," Grant wrote in a Facebook post, "and yes, it's very real and very scary. If you do not believe COVID-19 is a real stage disease That is, I urge you to continue reading. "
In a Facebook post, Grant said her family was recently diagnosed as positive for Corona.
"We've all already felt better and thought Madeline too - but we were very wrong. However, I'm here to share our experience in hopes of helping anyone who has had young children who have recently had COVID-19 be aware and listen to his stomach."
Grant's husband took their daughter to daycare one day.
But later that day, the team called Grant and told her that her daughter's hands and feet had turned blue.
"I went to pick her up and noticed she was suffering from rapid breathing," Grant told WCNC news site. "It was scary. My initial instinct as a mother was - what happens? Then my second instinct, as a nurse, is that she doesn't get enough oxygen. My husband and I just sat. Weep in a hospital because we did not know if she would survive. "

The daughter was rushed by ambulance to the Children's Hospital at Cleveland Clinic, where doctors discovered her heart was inflamed and her heart rate was very high.
"Typically, a baby's heart rate ranges from 100 to 150," said Heather Daniels, an infectious disease specialist at Cleveland Clinic.
"Her was over 200 and it went up to about 240 to 260. That's why she was rushed to intensive care."
Eventually, doctors diagnosed the girl with MIS-C and the medical staff gave her treatment to reduce the inflammation in her body.
"A lot of the body's response to the previous infection causes it to overcome - which causes a lot of inflammation," Daniels said.
The girl's condition improved around 24 hours after receiving the treatments, and she was released from the hospital more than a week later.
