Why Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Happens
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.
What Is 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 typically resolves in 7 to 10 days and has no link with foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.
Symptoms of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
- Fever and feeling unwell
- Irritability and refusing to drink since swallowing hurts
- Rash that can also appear on the buttocks, knees or elbows
- Loss of appetite and drooling in small children
- Red spots that turn into small blisters on the palms and soles
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 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.
- Give soft, cool foods such as yoghurt, ice lollies or soup; avoid salty, spicy or acidic food
- Offer plenty of cool fluids, little and often, to prevent dehydration
- Keep blisters clean and do not pop them
