E-rx.onlineWhat to Know About Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in Pamukkale
Pamukkale’s white travertine terraces are walked barefoot, and the glare and heat cause sunburn and cuts. On excursions it is hard to keep hands clean. Carry hand sanitiser, avoid sharing bottles and get advice by video if a child develops a rash and fever.
Signs of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease to Look for
- Sore throat and painful mouth ulcers
- Fever and feeling unwell
- Red spots that turn into small blisters on the palms and soles
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.
What Can Cause Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Enteroviruses, mostly coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus A71, cause it. They spread through saliva, blister fluid, coughs, sneezes and stools, so nurseries, kids’ clubs and pools are common places for spread. Symptoms appear 3 to 6 days after contact, and adults can be infected too.
Treatment Options for Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in Pamukkale
The doctor looks at the mouth and rash on camera, tells it apart from other blistering conditions and explains how to keep your child comfortable and drinking. There is no specific antiviral, and any needed medicine is sent to the nearest pharmacy as an e-prescription. Typical choices are 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
- Offer plenty of cool fluids, little and commonly, to prevent dehydration
- Wash hands often 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
