Children's hand, foot and mouth disease, which has been quiet since Corona, is now popular in three years.

Blisters form on the hands, feet, and mouth, which spread quickly and may cause complications in the brain and heart.  



This is Cho Dong-chan, a medical reporter.

is a 4-year-old baby who visited the hospital with a sore throat two days ago.



[Shall we take a look at this hand?]



His hands and feet began to form red blisters.



[Can I see the soles of my feet?]



Hand, foot and mouth disease, which disappeared last year and last year, has been in vogue since a month ago.



The number of patients soared tenfold, reaching the level of four years ago.



Daycare centers and academies are on alert for hand, foot and mouth disease.



Hand, foot and mouth disease first presents with symptoms of a fever and cold, then begins in the mouth and causes painful blisters on the hands and feet.



You can easily become infected by inhaling small droplets of saliva that have the hand, foot and mouth disease virus on them or by coming into contact with blisters on your skin.



There is no vaccine or cure, but it usually heals spontaneously after a week or so.



However, even if you rarely take antipyretics, the high fever may not go away and you can play games, and complications of myocarditis and meningitis can occur.



[Hand, foot and mouth disease patient's guardian: The fever has been maintained at 40 degrees.

His eyes keep turning over because he has a fever.]



There have been no deaths this year, but in the past, dozens of people have died each year.



Because children under the age of 5, who are not good at expressing their opinions, are mainly infected, parents should closely monitor them.



[Kim Dong-gu / Pediatrician: I don't play more than usual, I try to lie down, and then I don't eat well, then you need to test first.]



Self-isolation for a week after being diagnosed is recommended.



[Kim Dong-gu / Pediatrician: If you think that the blistered lesions on the hands and feet are absorbed and become black or scabs, then you can go to school or go to school...

If you have hand, foot and mouth disease, you should eat well to avoid dehydration and make sure that your urine output does not drop sharply.
