    Care Advice for Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease (HFMD)

    1. What You Should Know About HFM Disease:
      • Most often, hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) is a harmless rash.
      • It is caused by a virus called Coxsackie.
      • Here is some care advice that should help.
    2. Liquid Antacid for Mouth Pain (Age 1 Year and Older):
      • For mouth pain, use a liquid antacid (such as Mylanta or the store brand). Give 4 times per day as needed. After meals often is a good time.
      • Age 1 to 6 years. Put a few drops in the mouth. Can also put it on the mouth sores with a cotton swab.
      • Age over 6 years. Use 1 teaspoon (5 mL) as a mouth wash. Keep it on the ulcers as long as possible. Then can spit it out or swallow it.
      • Caution: Do not use regular mouth washes, because they sting.
    3. Fluids and Soft Diet:
      • Try to get your child to drink adequate fluids.
      • Goal: Keep your child well hydrated.
      • Cold drinks, milk shakes, popsicles, slushes, and sherbet are good choices.
      • Solid Foods. Offer a soft diet. Good ones are mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, cereals with milk and ice cream. Also, avoid foods that need much chewing. Do not give citrus, salty, or spicy foods. Note: Fluid intake is more important than eating any solids.
      • For babies, you may need to stop the bottle. Give fluids by cup, spoon or syringe instead. Reason: The nipple can increase the pain.
    4. Pain Medicine:
      • Mouth sores are painful.
      • Blisters also may be painful, especially on the feet.

      • For fevers above 102° F (39° C), give an acetaminophen product (such as Tylenol).
      • Another choice is an ibuprofen product (such as Advil).
      • Note: Fevers less than 102° F (39° C) are important for fighting infections.
      • For all fevers: Keep your child well hydrated. Give lots of cold fluids.
    6. Blisters on the Skin
      • Blisters don’t need any special treatment. You can wash them like normal skin.
      • Blisters on the palms and soles do not open.
      • Those on arms and elsewhere sometimes open. The fluid is contagious to other people. Open blisters do not need to be covered. They quickly dry over.
    7. Return to School:
      • HFMD is easily spread to others.
      • However, most often, it’s a mild and harmless illness.
      • After contact with HFMD, children come down with symptoms in 3-6 days.
      • Can return to child care or school after the fever is gone. Most often, this takes 2 to 3 days.
      • Children with widespread blisters may need to stay home until the blisters dry up. That takes about 7 days.

    Oral leukoplakia

    Leukoplakia is a disease of the oral mucosa, accompanied by increased keratinization of the epithelium, in which its thickening and desquamation also occurs. Most often, leukoplakia of the mouth is localized on the surface of the tongue, at the corners of the mouth and on the buccal mucosa. At risk are men aged 30 to 40 years, however, in not rare cases, the disease affects young people, children and women.

    Symptoms and causes of leukoplakia

    Most cases of oral leukoplakia present with white or gray plaques. They form on the tongue, cheeks, gums and palate. Depending on the characteristics of the human body, plaques form in a period of several weeks to several months. Over time, they harden and take their final form in the form of thickened areas that slightly rise above the surface of the mucosa. Usually leukoplakia, the treatment of which must be started immediately after the discovery of plaques, is absolutely painless. However, thickenings can react to too spicy or hot food and other external stimuli.

    Consider the causes of this disease. Leukoplakia occurs as a result of the adverse effects of an aggressive external environment and factors caused by impaired functioning of the whole organism as a whole.

    External influences include: coarse food, improperly installed fillings and dentures, as well as bad habits and poor living conditions. There are other external factors as well. Leukoplakia of the tongue often manifests itself under the influence of production factors. This is especially true for those people whose work is related to oil refining or the production of tar, alkalis, acids and mineral fertilizers.

    Among the functional disorders of the body, first of all, it is necessary to note the pathology of the gastrointestinal tract and the lack of vitamin A.

    In some cases, leukoplakia occurs under the influence of a genetic predisposition to this kind of disease.

    Oral leukoplakia:

    types and signs of the disease

    In modern medicine, different forms of the disease are distinguished:

    • flat leukoplakia – patients report a feeling of tightness, but there are practically no other complaints. Grayish-white plaques appear on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, having a clear localization;
    • warty leukoplakia of the oral cavity – plaques have sharply defined borders, are keratinized elevations with a bumpy surface;
    • erosive form – along with plaques, the patient has erosion, cracks and other mechanical damage to the mucosa;

    Leukoplakia of the oral cavity

    o leukoplakia of the tongue – whitish-gray thread-like formations appear on the surface of the tongue, which sometimes pass to the mucous membrane of the cheeks. Most often, cases of this form of disease are observed in patients with AIDS.

    Leukoplakia of the tongue

    Leukoplakia – treatment and prevention of the disease

    If leukoplakia is suspected, a mandatory visit to a doctor is necessary! The reason is simple – the probability of degeneration into a malignant formation in the advanced stage of the disease is very high.

    Leukoplakia is classified as a precancerous disease: 30% of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and oral mucosa are preceded by leukoplakia, in addition, the same etiological factors are involved in the pathogenesis of both diseases. The appearance of leukoplakia is deceptive: histological examination of white plaques may reveal squamous cell carcinoma.

    Leukoplakia degenerating into squamous cell carcinoma

    Treatment of any form of leukoplakia should be comprehensive. First of all, dentists must sanitize the oral cavity and eliminate irritating factors that have a traumatic effect on the oral cavity. Such activities include: quitting smoking, alcohol, taking non-hot and non-spicy food, removing dentures and metal fillings from the oral cavity, proper nutrition. Since oral leukoplakia can be caused by endogenous factors, patients are carefully examined for somatic diseases, in particular, pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract. Also, leukoplakia of the oral cavity, the treatment of which is carried out in a complex, requires examination by a dermatologist, endocrinologist, oncologist and therapist. When ulcers and erosions appear in the oral cavity, a mandatory consultation with an oncologist and no self-treatment!

    Guba is not a fool: doctors spoke about the dangers of seizures | Articles

    Ekaterina Terentyeva, a therapist at the medical company Invitro, spoke about the danger of cracks in the corners of the mouth, which often appear in many people during the cold season. According to the specialist, such damage may indicate the onset of a fungal or bacterial infection. Details – in the material “Izvestia”.

    Why do they appear

    Cracks in the corners of the mouth and on the lips are a cause of distress for many, especially women, during the cold season. Seizures, as they are colloquially called, are often considered a minor violation of the health of the body, but this is not so. In an exclusive interview with the 5-tv.ru channel, a general practitioner from the Invitro medical company spoke about the danger that such damage to the skin can pose in the long term.

    According to the doctor, in the scientific literature, such disorders are referred to as angular cheilitis, angulitis or angular stomatitis. The causes can be varied: sometimes it is a bacterial infection, in other cases it is a fungal infection. But the main thing that contributes to the occurrence of seizures of any origin is a decrease in immunity. This is what usually happens to many of us in the fall. Reduced immunity gives the green light to the reproduction of pathogenic microflora, most often streptococci and fungi of the genus Candida. The symptoms of this disease are well known to almost everyone.

    “As a rule, seizures begin with peeling, redness of the skin in the corners of the mouth, then bleeding cracks develop. Often, seizures are accompanied by a burning sensation when yawning, when eating, when talking, and in addition to aesthetic inconvenience, seizures become the entrance gate for various infections to enter the body, ”Terentyeva explained.

    Lip damage evidence

    The doctor urged those who wear dentures, often bite their lips or have to neglect oral hygiene to be especially attentive to the condition of their lips. A sharp change in climatic conditions can also play a fatal role. When the lips are affected by streptococcus, the sensations are unpleasant and painful.

    “Redness is replaced by vesicles with purulent content, which then burst, and long-healing cracks form in their place. Patients, as a rule, are concerned about severe itching, the inability to painlessly open their mouths, salivation, ”the doctor told about the symptoms of such a disease.

    However, if a painless white coating just appears on the lips and in the corners of the mouth, there is no reason to calm down. On the contrary, it is precisely such a seemingly harmless external manifestation that indicates the presence of a fungal infection in the body, which in turn can be a symptom of severe diseases.

    “Angular cheilitis often occurs after courses of antibacterial hormonal cytostatic therapy. Seizures in the corners of the mouth can appear with some diseases – for example, iron deficiency anemia, diabetes mellitus, pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, lack of vitamin A, B vitamins, immunodeficiency, including HIV infection, ”Terentyeva warned.

    How to maintain immunity

    Thus, seemingly harmless seizures can be a sign of serious pathological disorders. The doctor recommends that if symptoms are detected, without delay, consult a doctor for advice. In anticipation of the reception, of course, it is worth taking certain measures available to everyone on your own.

    “When cheilitis appears, first of all, you should adjust your diet, give up too salty foods, spicy and hot seasonings, and foods that irritate the skin and mucous membranes, such as pineapple. In addition, the impact of the traumatic factor, whether it be cosmetics or toothpaste, should be stopped, and it is also necessary to remember about daily oral hygiene, ”advises the specialist.

    The simplest initial means of maintaining immunity is nutritional optimization. Dietitian, member of the National Association of Dietitians and Nutritionists Natalya Kruglova pays special attention to the danger of overeating, especially in the autumn-winter period. The fact is that excessive consumption of food significantly increases the load on the digestive system, which leads to a violation of the absorption of nutrients. Obesity is a direct consequence of overeating, which in itself leads to a decrease in immunity.

    “With obesity, the immune response decreases, the production of those components that help fight infectious agents decreases. And there is such a thing as a “systemic inflammatory response.” It is typical for people with obesity, with metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes,” said Kruglova.

    At the same time, Kruglova warned against an overly zealous approach to losing weight. According to the doctor, too sharp restriction of oneself in food leads to the destruction of not fat, but muscle tissue and subsequently results in even more weight gain. Doctors emphasize that in order to ensure proper balanced nutrition and maintain immunity in the autumn-winter period, it is necessary to remember about vitamins.
