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.

Helping kids eat right and get fit

The following tips from nutritionists at the CNRC can help get your child on the road to good health.

> Think habits, not diets. Encourage kids; to- eat at least the minimum number of servings from the Food Guide

Pyramid every day to ensure they get the nutrition they need.

> Discourage dieting. Be a good role model. Eat right and stay active, and your kids probably will too.

> Encourage kids to do physical activities every day. Use the Kid's Activity Pyramid to center free-time and family

time around physical activity.

> Make lifestyle changes without fanfare. Prepare low-fat and lower calorie meals the whole family will enjoy. Stock

the fridge with individual bottles of water, juice, and healthy snacks like non-fat yogurt.

> Get involved. Work to improve physical education at your child's school. Find after-school activities and programs

that boost your child's confidence in her physical ability.

> Limit unnecessary sitting time. Set a kitchen timer for 30 minutes to limit non-school related sitting activ-ities such as watching TV and playing computer and video games.

> Be aware of peer pressure. Get children into programs at school and in the community that involve physically active groups of children.

> Be positive. Involve your kids in decision making. Avoid words like "you should,"you can't," and "don't. Keep family

time active and enjoyable. Show your kids you love them.

> Always talk to your physician if you have concerns over your child's health, growth, or weight.
