About Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral infection, mainly in young children, that causes fever, painful mouth ulcers and a blister-like rash on the palms and soles. It is usually mild and clears up on its own within 7 to 10 days. It is not related to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.
What Can Cause Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Enteroviruses, most frequently 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, normally with milder symptoms.
How Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Is Treated
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. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest fluids, soothing mouth care and paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain, as no specific antiviral is needed.
