Hello Good Evening,
Your daughter as diagnosed with Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), which caused by certain types of viruses.
HFMD usually affects infants and children, and is quite common. It is moderately contagious and is spread through direct contact with the mucus, saliva, or feces of an infected person. It typically occurs in small epidemics in nursery schools or kindergartens, usually during the summer and autumn months.
Early symptoms are likely to be
fever often followed by a
sore throat. Loss of appetite and general
malaise may also occur. Between one and two days after the onset of fever, painful sores (lesions) may appear in the mouth or throat, or both. A
rash may become evident on the hands, feet, mouth, tongue, inside of the cheeks.
There is no specific treatment for hand, foot and mouth disease. Individual symptoms, such as fever and pain from the sores, may be eased with the use of analgesics.
HFMD is a viral disease that has to run its course, there is no specific treatment, only symptomatic and supportive treatment should be given.
Fever reducers and luke-warm baths can help bring temperature down.
Regards,
Dr. Naresh Jain
