4 Cases in One Day – What You Need to Know

At Dr Low Child Specialist Clinic Batu Pahat, we recently treated 4 cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) in just one day! While most were mild and managed as outpatient cases, one child required hospitalization due to severe dehydration.

🔴 HFMD is highly contagious! It spreads easily, especially among young children in schools, daycare centers, and crowded public places.

How to Reduce the Risk of HFMD:

✅ Wash hands regularly with soap and water before and after eating, and after using the toilet.
✅ Avoid sharing food, drinks, utensils, towels, and toothbrushes with others.
✅ Do not touch your face (eyes, nose, mouth) with unwashed hands.
✅ Disinfect toys & frequently touched surfaces to minimize virus spread.
✅ Avoid crowded places such as shopping malls and swimming pools, especially for younger children.

What is HFMD?

HFMD is a common viral infection that causes fever, mouth ulcers, and rashes on the hands, feet, and buttocks. The disease is transmitted through direct contact with saliva, nasal discharge, or surfaces contaminated by the virus.

Most cases recover within 7–10 days, but in severe cases, dehydration and complications can occur.

Protect Your Child Today!

If your child shows symptoms of HFMD, visit a pediatric clinic immediately for assessment and treatment.
