Coxsackievirus Infections

Memang confirm. Junior aku kena jangkitan virus coxsackie. Bukan demam campak, bukan pelentong dan bukan demam panas. Coxsackie atau nama lainnya penyakit kuku, tangan dan mulut. Patutlah banyak rashes dia ada kat tapak kaki tangan. Choronologically, on thursday till friday, junior aku kena demam, fever yang menyebabkan dia tak de selera makan dan kemungkinan tonsilnya bengkak. On saturday, naik rashesnya. Semua orang termasuk aku kata junior aku kena demam campak atau pelentong. Anyway, aku amik langkah bijak dengan membawa anak aku berjumpa doktor pagi tadi.

AS for me after being told by the doctor, I've conducted some research on coxsackie virus. I'm very lucky to met this site: www.kidshealth.org
This is very tremendous site for parents to learn about disease, and health issues of their children.

Coxsackievirus can produce a wide variety of symptoms. About half of all kids infected with coxsackievirus have no symptoms. Others suddenly develop high fever, headache, and muscle aches, and some also develop a sore throat, abdominal discomfort, or nausea. A child with a coxsackievirus infection may simply feel hot but have no other symptoms. In most kids, the fever lasts about 3 days, then disappears.

Coxsackieviruses can also cause several different symptoms that affect different body parts, including:coxsackie_illustration

* Hand, foot, and mouth disease, a type of coxsackievirus syndrome, causes painful red blisters in the throat and on the tongue, gums, hard palate, inside of the cheeks, and the palms of hands and soles of the feet.

* Herpangina, an infection of the throat which causes red-ringed blisters and ulcers on the tonsils and soft palate, the fleshy back portion of the roof of the mouth.

* Hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, an infection that affects the whites of the eyes. Hemorrhagic conjunctivitis usually begins as eye pain, followed quickly by red, watery eyes with swelling, light sensitivity, and blurred vision.

Well, aku terpaksa membatalkan vacation yang dirancang berbulan-bulan. Aku punya adik ipar pun frust juga sebab dia dah ambik cuti selama 10 hari. Melepas aku nak sambar mempelam harumanis yang hanya berbuah setahun sekali. The thing is health is major issues and there are things we should prioritize depending on situations we face. To parents, browse this site and it's a good things to learn.
