ANNOUNCEMENT: HAND, FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE

Dear Parents,

According to our consulting pediatrician, Kota Damansara is a hot spot for HAND, FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. As the occurrence of this disease is increasing in our area and usually affects infants and children, we feel obligated to alert you. Here are some of the symptoms:

-Fever
-Headache
-Fatigue
-Malaise
-Sore throat
-Painful oral lesions
-Non-itchy body rash, followed by sores with blisters on palms of hands and soles of feet
-Oral ulcer
-Sores or blisters may be present on the buttocks of small children and infants
-Irritability in infants and toddlers
-Loss of appetite.
-Diarrhea



There is no specific treatment for hand, foot and mouth disease. Individual symptoms, such as fever, lameness, and pain from the sores, may be eased with the use of medication. HFMD is a viral disease that has to run its course; many doctors do not issue medicine for this illness, unless the infection is severe. Infection in older children, adolescents, and adults is normally very mild and lasts around 1 week or sometimes more. Fever reducers will help to control high temperatures. Luke-warm baths will also help bring temperature down.

Please check your children regularly for these syptoms ESPECIALLY LESIONS, RASH AND ORAL ULCER. If any of these symptoms appear on your children, please get them checked by a doctor immediately and refrain from sending them to school as it may affect the other students.

Thank You.
