Erste Hilfe: Hand-Fuß-Mund: Das musst du SOFORT tun! 🚨 (Arzt in der Kindermedizin erklärt)

In this video, as a pediatrician, I explain everything you need to know about hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFM) – a common but often misunderstood viral infection in childhood. It's particularly prevalent in daycare centers and among young children during the summer and fall. 🦠 The disease is caused by the Coxsackievirus (enterovirus) and is highly contagious. I'll show you typical blisters on the hands, feet, and in the mouth, explaining the duration, progression, and treatment options – and, above all, how to help your children get through this time well. Important information for parents: Make sure your child drinks enough despite pain. Dehydration is the most common complication of HFM! If your child is barely consuming fluids, producing little urine, or appears very weak, you should seek medical advice.
