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.
Common Triggers
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 frequently, 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.
Care and Treatment for Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
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. Options may include fluids, soothing mouth care and paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain, as no specific antiviral is needed.
- Keep blisters clean and do not pop them
- Wash hands commonly and do not share cups, towels or toys until the blisters have crusted over
- Give soft, cool foods such as yoghurt, ice lollies or soup; avoid salty, spicy or acidic food
- Use paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain as directed on the pack and for the age
- Offer plenty of cool fluids, little and often, to prevent dehydration
