　　Not long ago, 4-year-old Nannan suddenly had a high fever, and her body temperature went straight to 40 degrees. The heat peak reached 3 or 4 times a day. Even if she took antipyretics, she could not drop to normal temperature.

　　After going to the hospital, the attending doctor made a careful physical examination and found that Nannan had a lot of herpes in his mouth, which hurt when he touched it, and there were red rashes in other parts of his body. According to the typical rash manifestations and the location of the rash, the doctor judged that Nan Nan was infected with hand, foot and mouth disease.

　　Herpes angina & how to prevent hand, foot and mouth

　　What are the performances?

　　Hand, foot and mouth disease: fever, maculopapules and herpes of hands and feet, herpes or ulcer of oral mucosa (herpes is more common in the front of oral cavity, such as tongue and lips and teeth), pain and difficulty in eating.

　　1-2 months after the onset, some children will have finger/toenail shedding.

　　Herpetic angina: fever, sore throat, mucosal herpes in pharyngeal isthmus and superficial ulcer.

　　Relationship between hand, foot and mouth disease and herpetic angina?

　　They are all caused by a variety of enterovirus infections, and many enteroviruses can cause both diseases at the same time, such as the red virus in the picture below.

　　After being infected with the same virus, if herpes is only in the throat, it is herpetic angina, and if it appears in the hands, feet, mouth and anus, it is hand, foot and mouth disease.

　　The study found that the blood routine of hand, foot and mouth disease or herpetic angina indicated that white blood cells increased, the proportion of neutrophils increased, and sometimes CRP(C-reactive protein) increased, which was not necessarily accompanied by bacterial infection, so parents should not blindly use antibiotics.
.

　　How did it spread?

　　Droplets in digestive tract or respiratory tract spread and contact with herpes fluid of patients’ skin and mucosa, which is highly contagious and fast.

　　How to prevent it?

　　Vaccinate hand, foot and mouth vaccine (although it can only prevent EV71, most severe hand, foot and mouth diseases are caused by EV71), wash hands frequently and pay attention to hygiene.

　　Ventilation frequently, avoid going to public places where crowds gather and air circulation is poor during the epidemic period, and see a doctor in time when symptoms appear.

　　People with hand, foot and mouth disease should avoid contact with other children.
