Protect Your Little One from Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Pain—Let Essprin® Pedia Help


In recent months, Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) has been making headlines in the Philippines, with several local government units (LGUs) reporting a surge in cases—especially among children aged 1 to 5 years. The Department of Health has urged parents to stay alert and take preventive steps as cases typically rise during the rainy season, when viruses spread more easily in crowded or enclosed spaces.


Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a contagious viral illness that commonly affects young children. It spreads through direct contact with saliva, mucus, or fluid from blisters. In the Philippines, daycare centers, preschools, and homes with multiple children are particularly vulnerable to outbreaks.

Signs and Symptoms

The most noticeable symptoms include:

  • Fever

  • Sore throat

  • Painful mouth sores

  • Rashes or blisters on the hands, feet, and buttocks

  • Loss of appetite (due to oral discomfort)

Among these, mouth sores and sore throat are especially difficult for children. They may refuse to eat, cry during meals, or become unusually irritable signs that worry Filipino parents the most.


Managing Symptoms at Home

While HFMD often clears up in about 7–10 days, symptom relief is crucial. Children need rest, hydration, and support to ease pain, especially in the mouth and throat.

A Quick Reminder for Parents

  • Let them rest at home and avoid school or daycare

  • Monitor their hydration and nutrition

  • Maintain hygiene, like washing hands often and disinfecting toys

  • Seek medical advice if the symptoms worsen or persist
