Why The Finger Nails Have Been Falling Without Any Pain?

my friend has a 3yr old daughter who constantly complains of itching hands and feet. her tonsils are always really large and just yesterday we noticed her pinky toes on bothe feet are peeling and one of the nails has fallen off and the other one looks as to do the same. i was told her finger nails have all fallen off before too with no complaint of pain. can this be the hands foot and mouth disease?
