Do you know hand-foot-mouth syndrome?

This syndrome happens to young children...it is common in this age group

Hand-foot-mouth disease, is a common viral infection caused by a group of Enteroviruses.

This infection is typical of the pediatric population, with more than 90% of cases occurring in children under 5 years of age.

Its incidence seems to increase with temperature and humidity.

Typical symptoms include fever, painful mouth sores and a rash on the palms of the hands and palms of the feet, hence the name.

As in other cases already mentioned from yesterday, there is no specific treatment for this disease.

Children can take medicine to relieve fever and pain. Wait, be patient and with time it will pass.

Take care of your future children

Thank you
