Licensed healthcare providers on Klarity can evaluate and treat hand-foot-mouth disease via online telehealth consultations, providing supportive care and symptom management quickly and conveniently.
Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a highly contagious viral infection primarily affecting children but also seen in adults. It causes painful sores in the mouth and rashes on the hands and feet. The disease spreads through saliva, blister fluid, and fecal matter, making hygiene essential to prevent infection.
Common symptoms include fever, sore throat, painful mouth sores, and rash on palms, soles, and sometimes buttocks. Diagnosis is usually clinical, based on visual examination of sores and rash. Laboratory testing is rarely necessary but can confirm the virus.
Since no antiviral medications are approved specifically for HFMD, treatment focuses on relieving symptoms. This includes hydration, pain relievers, and fever reducers. Maintaining good hygiene helps prevent spread. Most cases resolve within 7-10 days.
Patients in California can access licensed healthcare providers via Klarity's telehealth platform. Providers evaluate symptoms remotely and prescribe supportive care or medications if needed. Appointments are available within 24 hours often, ensuring fast access to care.
