- Loss of appetite and drooling in small children

Understanding Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral illness in young children with fever, sore mouth ulcers and blisters on the hands and feet. It usually clears up in 7 to 10 days and has no link with foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.
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 normally appear 3 to 6 days after contact. Adults can catch it too, typically with milder symptoms.
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.
Getting Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Treated in Icmeler
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 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 frequently, 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
- Give soft, cool foods such as yoghurt, ice lollies or soup; avoid salty, spicy or acidic food
