It looks like it's the flu season is coming fast this year, parents are getting ready for the vaccination for their children and family and especially them. Most common diseases that are still surfacing today are the ones we see around our surroundings' citizens; some forms are mumps and rubella that used to effect hordes of children in the USA and other countries.
Shielding us from those diseases, we already have some flu vaccinations all over the country for the children, adults with low immunity, and senior citizens. There are some exceptions; some diseases have strong resistance against vaccines, some of which are notorious in affecting kids, it's the HFMD-- short for Hands-Foot-and-Mouth disease according to NHS. Symptoms include flu-like symptoms, like fever and sore throat, but HFMD is most characterized by the itchy red spots that appear on your hands, feet, and mouth, it is also found in your legs, booty, and genitals(symptoms are usually mild).
Although this virus looks dangerous especially if the spots are clearly visible or many in numbers, it will diminish in your systems within a week or two on its own as cited on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Even so, to make you feel better or you want to clean out something, better ask your doctor and have a checkup. Still wondering why this is such a common disease? Well, its mode of transmission is in the form of droplets or mucus, no wonder it occurs commonly in children because, kids play a lot, sneeze a lot and, drool a lot, it can also affect adults and people with weak immune systems.
Some studies showed that there were some cases of HFMD that lead to some severe brain infections. So to avoid contracting this disease, people of all ages and races should practice the universal precaution: hand washing, proper hygiene, drink plenty of fluids and eat a good balanced diet, the same goes for the kids and kids-at-heart, adults, senior citizens.
