What to Know About Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in Manavgat
Manavgat is known for its waterfall and river boat trips, so boat days, sun and sea water mix together. 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.
Travel Guide to Manavgat
Manavgat lies on the river of the same name, close to ancient Side. Trip for travellers: take a river boat trip, see the Manavgat Waterfall and shop at the weekly market for textiles, leather goods and spices. Water activities include boat rides and sea swimming at the nearby Side beaches.

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.

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.
