When parents notice their child has a high fever and mouth sores, they might wonder if it’s Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD). This condition is common among young children, especially during the rainy season. This article will guide you in identifying early symptoms, distinguishing HFMD from similar conditions, and introducing Eureko Mouth Spray—a product designed to relieve pain from mouth sores effectively.

Symptoms of HFMD

HFMD is caused by enteroviruses such as Coxsackievirus A16 and Enterovirus 71. The virus enters the body through the digestive tract and spreads easily in environments where children gather, such as kindergartens and daycare centers. Parents can look for these symptoms:

• Fever: High fever ranging from 38–39°C during the first 1–2 days.
• Mouth sores: Small, shallow ulcers commonly found on the tongue, inner cheeks, and roof of the mouth, causing pain, drooling, and difficulty eating.
• Blisters: Small, clear, or red blisters appearing on the palms, soles, and sometimes on the buttocks, knees, or elbows.
• Other symptoms: Loss of appetite, fatigue, and headaches may also occur.

Other Conditions with Similar Symptoms

Since other illnesses share symptoms with HFMD, distinguishing between them is crucial to ensure your child receives appropriate care:

• Herpangina: Caused by the same type of virus as HFMD but presents with sores only in the mouth and throat, without blisters on the hands and feet.
• Cold sores: Characterized by clear blisters around the lips and mouth, often accompanied by a mild fever.
• Chickenpox: Features clear blisters scattered across the body, including the mouth, usually with a high fever.

How to Differentiate HFMD from Other Conditions

Parents can distinguish HFMD from similar illnesses by observing the location and characteristics of blisters, along with other symptoms:

• Location of sores and blisters: HFMD typically presents with mouth sores and blisters on the hands, feet, and buttocks, while cold sores are often around the lips, and chickenpox blisters are scattered all over the body.
• Blister characteristics: HFMD blisters are small and non-itchy, whereas cold sores and chickenpox blisters are larger and may itch.
• Additional symptoms: Cough, runny nose, or itching can help differentiate the conditions.

Precautions

If your child has a high fever and mouth sores, consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. HFMD is highly contagious, so maintaining hygiene is essential. Wash hands frequently and avoid close contact with infected individuals to prevent the spread of the virus.

Eureko Mouth Spray: A Solution for Mouth Sore Relief

When children have HFMD, painful mouth sores can make eating difficult and affect their overall health. Eureko Mouth Spray is specifically designed to quickly and safely alleviate mouth sore pain. This spray coats the sores, reducing irritation from food, water, and saliva.

Features of Eureko Mouth Spray

• Safe for young children: Free from alcohol, anesthetics, antibiotics, and steroids, ensuring safety even if swallowed accidentally.
• Fast-acting: Provides pain relief within 1 minute, allowing children to eat and drink more comfortably.

How to Use Eureko Mouth Spray

• For visible sores:

  • Use 10 minutes before meals and at bedtime.
• For infants:
  • Hold the baby upright and spray 3 times into the mouth. Wait 10 minutes before feeding milk.
