Hands, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a virus called “Coxsackie” (germ) which generally affects children under the age of 10 years of age. Although a variety of age groups can catch the disease if not careful. Children who catch hands, foot and mouth disease generally develop systoms of high fever, then red spots, with painful blisters in the middle. Commonly confused for chicken pox, parents will seek help for the wrong disease. HFMD is not the same for either adults or children. Since this article is currently about children, MediCare Professionals Training In Mental Development LLC will provided you the tools necessary to treat the problem due to the outbreak.
HFMD was commonly found in local schools within Washington DC, where we believe the disease has been making contact with children and family memeber across the country. Yet lucky for you, MediCare Professionals is going to provide you the knowledge you need to treating your loved ones with cure.
• when your loved one is in pain due to the fever, try not to give them aspirin. Aspirin given to younger children could result in a disease called “Reye’s Syndrone”, making your child twice as sick as before.
• feed soft foods, instead of spicy, salty or trat. Spicy, salty or trat food groups usually cause more pain in your child’s mouth causing them to be in more pain and make the disease worst. Try and make the experience easiest as possible to create less stress on yourself. MediCare Professionals recommends using mashed potatoes or milkshakes to feed your child.
• Providing relief to the pain by numbing gel products usually found in your local stores like Safeway or wal-greens. If you have a caregiver in the home, ask about antacid solution to help your child’s sore feel better within a matter of days!
