E-rx.onlineWhat to Know About Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in Guzeloba
Guzeloba is built for beach days, and the strong sun, salty water and shared buffets behind them explain most of the health problems travellers report. Close by are Kundu, Colakli, Gundogdu, which share the same medical services. Kids’ clubs, pools and shared toys help the virus spread fast in summer resorts. Keep a child with blisters or fever out of the pool and ask us for advice.
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.
Symptoms of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
- Sore throat and painful mouth ulcers
- Fever and feeling unwell
- Rash that can also appear on the buttocks, knees or elbows
- Red spots that turn into small blisters on the palms and soles
What Is Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease?
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a frequent 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.
Care and Treatment for Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
A video visit is very useful because 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 doctor 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. Typical choices are fluids, soothing mouth care and paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain, as no specific antiviral is needed.
- Offer plenty of cool fluids, little and commonly, to prevent dehydration
- Keep blisters clean and do not pop them
- Wash hands frequently 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
