Understanding Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
This viral infection, seen mainly in small children, causes fever, painful mouth ulcers and a blistering rash on palms and soles. It is normally mild, clears in a week to ten days and is unrelated to the cattle disease with a similar name.
Causes and Risk Factors
Coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus A71 are the usual viruses. Contact with saliva, blister fluid, droplets or stools passes them on, which is why kids’ clubs, nurseries and shared pools are hotspots. The illness starts 3 to 6 days after exposure and adults can catch it as well.
Preventing Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Wash hands commonly, especially after nappy changes and before eating, do not share cups, cutlery or towels, and keep a child with blisters or fever away from pools and kids’ clubs until they recover.
How Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Is Treated
On a video visit the doctor can see the mouth ulcers and rash, rule out other causes of blisters and advise on fluids, pain and fever relief and when a child can return to the pool or kids’ club. No specific antiviral is needed, and any medicine can be sent as an e-prescription. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest fluids, soothing mouth care and paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain, as no specific antiviral is needed.
- Give soft, cool foods such as yoghurt, ice lollies or soup; avoid salty, spicy or acidic food
