Let's Talk about....


Hand Foot and Mouth Disease

In the realm of infectious diseases, Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) stands as a poignant reminder of the need for vigilance and effective preventive measures. HFMD, caused by a group of enteroviruses, most commonly Enterovirus 71 and Coxsackievirus A16, predominantly affects young children but can afflict individuals of all ages. Since its discovery in the 1950s, HFMD has periodically emerged, casting its disruptive shadow across communities worldwide.


What are the Symptoms?

The initial signs of HFMD often mimic those of a common cold, with symptoms such as fever, sore throat and a general feeling of malaise. However, what distinguishes HFMD are the characteristic sores that develop in the mouth, on the hands and on the feet. These painful ulcers, often accompanied by a rash, can cause considerable discomfort and hinder an individual's daily life.


Diagnosis of HFMD typically relies on clinical presentation and symptoms. In cases of doubt, laboratory tests can confirm the presence of enteroviruses through throat swabs or stool samples.


How can it be Treated?

Regrettably, there is no specific antiviral treatment for HFMD. Medical care primarily involves managing the symptoms and providing comfort to the afflicted. Over-the-counter pain relievers can alleviate pain and fever. Hydration and maintaining a soft, non-irritating diet are crucial to prevent dehydration and ease discomfort caused by mouth sores. Rest is paramount in allowing the body's immune system to combat the virus.
