The alarm bells ring: A treacherous viral disease that affects children under ten years of age reaches new heights! The hand-foot-mouth disease is not fun! Dr. Patrick Hundsdörfer, chief physician of pediatric and adolescent medicine in the Helios Klinikum Berlin-Buch, now gives the concerned parents valuable tips on how to protect their little ones.

The symptoms cannot be overlooked: a painful rash - the namesake of this disease - is shown by the mouth, palms and soles of the feet. The extremely contagious deeroviruses of group A are to blame! Caution is required, especially in the first few weeks after the infection! Children who carry the symptoms are changing virus hunters-and the transmission is rapidly, whether from person to person or over contaminated surfaces.

This is how the disease is!

The first signs are not for the faint of heart! Fever and flu -like symptoms quit before it continues: blisters and painful lesions in the mouth are the next cruel level. "It can be refused to drink because the pain takes over," warns Dr. Dog villages.

But why is the whole thing so explosive? The vast majority of children can usually recover after about a week without any permanent damage - but the constant vigilance remains on the part of the parents! A visit to the doctor should not be neglected, especially if the little ones have serious difficulties in drinking.

5 golden rules for prevention!

  • 1. High risk of infection: during the first week, infected people are particularly contagious! The virus particles hide in the liquids of the blisters and lurk on non -absorbing children!
  • 2. Immunity after infection: Whoever was infected is immune - but not quite! There are many deeroviruses and a new infection cannot be excluded.
  • 3. Medical consultation: toddlers under half a year or those with signs of a lack of fluid must be treated immediately!
  • 4. Finger away from aspirin: That could mean life danger! Aspirin can trigger reye syndrome in children, a fatal disease that affects the brain and liver!
  • 5. Myth exposed: The hand-foot mouth disease has nothing to do with the mouth and claw disease! These are completely different diseases!

The message is clear: parental attention and quick action are key in the fight against the hand-foot mouth of disease! The Helios Klinikum Berlin-Buch never remains idle-numerous specialists are committed to the health of the small patients!

The Helios Clinic is considered a modern hospital with over 1,000 beds, specializing in the highest medical standards and excellent care. Every year over 55,000 inpatient and over 144,000 outpatient patients are treated - a true health center!
