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.

Treatment Options for Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in Turkbuku
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. Options may include fluids, soothing mouth care and paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain, as no specific antiviral is needed.
