00:00These days when you scroll on Facebook, there are a lot of pictures of babies with rashes.
00:05And if you look at it, you can see that these are the mothers who are posing for their children
00:11who have hand, foot, and mouth disease.
00:14They say that HFMD is not a joke.
00:20It has a huge effect on children.
00:22You're right, Profi.
00:23And you can really see the struggles of the babies in the posts.
00:26It's an infection.
00:28And it's contagious.
00:30So to learn more about the hand, foot, and mouth disease,
00:35we will interview Dr. Maria Cristina Alberto, a pediatrician.
00:40Doc, good morning.
00:41Welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.
00:45Good morning, Rise and Shine.
00:47Good morning, Professor Fiti and Meiji.
00:50Good morning, Doc Tina.
00:51Your house is beautiful.
00:53If you're at home, I like the background.
00:56Of course, Doc Tina is also beautiful in the morning.
01:00Doc, what do we call this?
01:03Hand, foot, and mouth disease.
01:07Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious viral infection.
01:11So like COVID, this is also a virus that we call Coxsackie virus
01:16that can cause diseases that we call
01:21and there are blisters on the hand, foot, and mouth.
01:27So that's what we call hand, foot, and mouth disease.
01:32Doc, who are the people who are affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease?
01:41Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common disease in children,
01:44especially those who are less than seven years old.
01:47It's very rare that the elderly are affected by this,
01:50but there are still elderly people who have low resistance to this infection.
01:56All right, Doc, what are the signs and symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
02:01Please enlighten our viewers.
02:03They might think it's just simple rashes.
02:07Doc, go ahead.
02:09So like many infections, it starts with a fever,
02:13then there are blisters or rashes on the skin that are very painful.
02:20Then there are also rashes on our skin,
02:24and then there are rashes on our feet.
02:28This is not a simple infection.
02:30Sometimes, it's like meningitis, encephalitis, or brain infections, and meninges.
02:37Yes, Doc.
02:38So, is it the same virus here in the four areas of the body of babies or people who have this?
02:50Yes, it is the same viral infection.
02:52Even if the location of the blisters is far away,
02:54it's the same virus causing the manifestation or symptoms in our mouth,
03:00in our hands, and in our feet.
03:02Okay, Doc.
03:03How's it going?
03:04How will the treatment be here?
03:06How long is the phase that this virus can also infect?
03:10Okay.
03:11There is no particular antibiotic that is used in hand food maltases,
03:15so it is not treated with antibiotics.
03:17We are just supportive management.
03:19Because, of course, there will be a fever and the babies will be sick,
03:23we can give them paracetamol or ibuprofen
03:27to reduce the fever and the diseases that the babies feel.
03:32We can also give them cold food and a soft diet
03:37to avoid the disease of our lungs.
03:40And for the parents, we avoid too salty, too sour, or too hot food
03:46because the babies will not be able to eat.
03:49The infection can last for 3 to 7 days before the rashes come out.
03:54And in the following weeks, the babies can get infected.
03:58So, we should be careful in our schools
04:00and also in our homes.
04:02When a child has hand food maltases,
04:04our patients should be isolated first.
04:09What we can see on our monitors right now,
04:13it's pitiful, right?
04:14It's very small and there are a lot of rashes.
04:17Doc, how does this spread, this hand food and mouth disease?
04:21Did it start with the lips?
04:23Did it start with the hands?
04:24How, Doc?
04:26Most of the time, hand food maltases start in the mouth area.
04:31So, there are many ways to get infected with hand food maltases.
04:34First, nasal secretions, in the mouth of the babies.
04:38Then, oral droplets, when the baby is drooling,
04:40and also in the saliva.
04:42Also, blisters on the hands can be infected.
04:45So, if the babies in the school have manifested hand food maltases,
04:50we should disinfect the tables, chairs,
04:53the tables in the school, and also the doorknobs.
04:56Because even in those areas, our patients can get infected.
05:02Alright, Doc, let's proceed with prevention.
05:04How can we help to avoid and control this spread of hand food and mouth disease,
05:10especially to those who have cases at home?
05:14Okay.
05:15So, if we have cases at home and we already have hand food maltases
05:19that have been observed in our community,
05:21we should keep the babies wearing a mask.
05:24We should teach them to hand wash.
05:25It's very important to hand wash the babies for at least 20 seconds
05:30when touching things,
05:30and touching their mouth, their nose, or their eyes
05:33to avoid hand food maltases.
05:35Third, we should maintain a high nutritional and health status of our babies and our children.
05:41Fourth, of course,
05:43it's very important for teachers and schools
05:46to keep the babies with hand food maltases away from entering the classroom.
05:52Alright, Doc.
05:54Thank you very much.
05:54To the mothers out there,
05:56take care of your children and don't panic.
05:59Consult with them and follow the tips that Doc has given us.
06:03Thank you so much once again, Doc Tina,
06:04for the information you gave us this morning.
06:08Thank you, Doc.
06:09To the children,
06:11Oh my!
06:12Let's talk to the children.
06:14Always drink alcohol.
06:16If you're from the crowd, don't get involved with the babies.
06:20Once again, Doc.
06:21And see you again.
06:22Thank you, Doc.
