A. This week, we had the pleasure of having Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease hit our home. It has been going around my son’s daycare despite their constant cleaning, sterilizing, and disinfecting. I have been hearing more and more about this disease recently, but didn’t really know much about it until now. After doing some research online and speaking with my son’s pediatrician, I learned so much about this disease that I wish I would have known before my son got it. 1. What is it? I had heard others talk about it, but never really knew what it was. hand-foot-and-mouth disease is a viral illness that most commonly affects infants and children ages 5 or younger. The disease is most commonly caused by a virus called coxsackievirus A16. 2. How long it takes for symptoms to show? From the time the child is exposed to the disease, it takes 3-6 days for the initial symptoms to show up. This is called the incubation period. 3. The LAST symptom is the rash…and it’s not just on the hands, feet, and mouth Even though the disease is most clearly identifiable by the rash and blisters, those are usually the LAST symptom to show up. The first is typically a fever. My son was exposed to the virus on Friday (this was the only day he went last week). On Monday morning, he woke up with a fever. He was also lethargic and had a poor appetite, which are also initial symptoms. He wasn’t drinking much, which I later learned was because his throat hurt. At the time, we thought it was teething. On Tuesday, he had no fever, so we sent him back to daycare. Wednesday afternoon, daycare called when they noticed the rashes and blisters showing up. A trip to the doctor confirmed that it was hand-foot-and-mouth disease. The rashes and blisters don’t just show up on the hands, feet, and mouth though. They are all over my son’s legs, arms, and bum as well.
