All About HFMD

[cantbearit2]

Hi Charmaine_chong,


Poor kid. Same like my DD2. She's a food lover but yet couldn't mouth a single drop of water.

That's why we were so appreciative to our Paedi's suggestion of the milk shake. It's the only thing she could swallow.

Hope you kiddo get better soon.

Thank you for the update blurbee. If not for your post, I was not aware of the # and the trends.

very scary indeed... don't wish to revisit that nasty period again..

For all you mummies going thru the period now, hope your child gets well soon. Please remember to take good care of yourselves too.

Is it possible to have HFMD again as well>?

yup, possible. My poor nephew got it 3 times within a span of 4 mths. Said to be different strains.. the symtoms were different. One milder then the next round..

[xiaowanzi]

my gal also got it recently but recovered very fast.. thanks to G3!!

[auntieM]

One kindy in Hougang ordered close due to HFMD… and the numbers ofkids affected this time round keep rising… Parents with young kiddos especially do take note…

super_dad:

Anyone got first hand experience in this? Seems quite serious this year.

There is a new solution to preventing HFMD. (Solarclean) i bought it and use to spray on my 2 kids shoes and washing cloths. works 24 hrs daily and last for 6months per spray.

Hi Karen Yong,


May I know where can I buy (solarclean) and how much it cost?

Thanks.

[tree nymph]

From the MOH website, personal hygiene is very important to prevent HFMD. Washing of hands etc…


And of course, please do not bring sick children out, let them stay home and rest and give them plenty of water.

My gal’s cc quite kiasu, they check the kids 3 times daily!

This strain of HFMD is not the mild one.
