Common Illnesses That Kids Get

12.  Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease

Hand, foot, mouth is very feared among moms everywhere. However, this is actually not a very serious illness. The fear is more because it is very common and can be spread to other kids. It’s definitely worth keeping an eye out for. This happens from unwashed hands, or being near someone who has an infection. The symptoms are fever, cough and a poor appetite. Skin rashes can also develop on the hands and underneath the foot. A sore throat can also start to take place. It’ll go away in about a week without any medical attention. It’s no fun for the kids and also no fun for mom and dad.

 

There are very few things that can commonly become severe, but it is better to give your child a watchful eye. They cannot express what they are feeling when they are ill. They need undivided attention and only you can give them that. Keep your child happy and healthy.
