Virus de manos, pies y boca: Lo que todos los padres deben saber | Dosis de Salud

In this episode of #DosisDeSalud, we spoke with Dr. José Luis Pinacho Velázquez, a pediatric emergency physician, about hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), a common viral infection in infants and children under 5 years old. The specialist explains how it's transmitted, why almost all children get it, and the best way to prevent it. We discussed the importance of handwashing, the role of daycare centers in preventing outbreaks, and why antibiotic use is not recommended since this is a virus. Dr. Pinacho also points out that, although it can cause side effects such as nail changes in rare cases, it's usually a mild illness if managed properly. Find out how to protect your little ones and prevent the spread of this virus.
