Understanding Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a frequent viral illness in young children with fever, sore mouth ulcers and blisters on the hands and feet. It generally clears up in 7 to 10 days and has no link with foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.
How Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Feels
- Sore throat and painful mouth ulcers
- Fever and feeling unwell
- Red spots that turn into small blisters on the palms and soles
- Irritability and refusing to drink because swallowing hurts
Why Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Happens
Enteroviruses, most commonly coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus A71. The virus spreads through saliva, fluid from blisters, coughs and sneezes and stools, so it moves rapidly through nurseries, hotel kids’ clubs and swimming areas. Symptoms typically appear 3 to 6 days after contact. Adults can catch it too, usually with milder symptoms.
What to Know About Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in Mahmutlar
Sunbeds, hotel pools and buffet counters define a stay in Mahmutlar, and they are also where holiday illnesses usually begin. Other places within reach include Payallar, Avsallar, Gazipasa.

Care and Treatment for Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
A video visit is very useful since the doctor can see the mouth and the rash on camera and tell hand, foot and mouth disease apart from other causes of blisters. There is no specific antiviral treatment, so the physician advises on fluids, pain and fever relief, when a child can return to the pool or kids’ club, and what warning signs to watch for. Any medicine can be sent as an e-prescription to the nearest pharmacy. Treatment can involve fluids, soothing mouth care and paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain, as no specific antiviral is needed.
- Wash hands commonly and do not share cups, towels or toys until the blisters have crusted over
- Use paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain as directed on the pack and for the age
- Give soft, cool foods such as yoghurt, ice lollies or soup; avoid salty, spicy or acidic food
