What Parents Need to Know About Singapore Flu in Kids

DiYES International School – Singapore Flu in kids, also known as Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD), is a common viral infection primarily affecting young children. While it can occur at any age, children under five are especially vulnerable. This disease is characterized by fever, sore throat, and painful sores that appear inside the mouth and on the body. The virus can spread quickly in places with high child interaction, such as schools and daycare centers, making it important for parents to recognize its symptoms early.

What is Singapore Flu?

Singapore Flu, or HFMD, is caused by the Coxsackievirus and Enterovirus 71 (EV-71). These viruses infect the body through the mouth and then spread to the hands, feet, and other parts of the body, leading to painful blisters. Though the disease is mostly mild and self-limiting, it can cause significant discomfort for the affected child and sometimes lead to complications if not treated properly.

Symptoms of Singapore Flu

The symptoms of Singapore Flu typically appear three to six days after exposure. The early symptoms can include:

  • Fever
  • Sore throat
  • Red rash
  • Loss of appetite
  • Painful sores inside the mouth
  • Body aches
  • Stomach pain

Around one to two days after the fever begins, sores and blisters filled with fluid may appear in the mouth. These sores often turn into painful ulcers. Along with mouth sores, the disease can also cause red rashes or blisters on the palms, soles, and sometimes on the buttocks.

Children may become more irritable during this time and refuse to eat or drink due to the pain caused by mouth sores. Parents should watch for these signs and ensure their child stays hydrated.

Causes and Transmission of Singapore Flu

Singapore Flu is highly contagious and spreads through various means. The disease is typically transmitted through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also spread by direct contact with an infected person’s saliva, stool, or blister fluid.

Parents should be aware that the virus can survive on surfaces for a period of time, meaning that shared items like toys, eating utensils, or doorknobs may carry the virus and increase the risk of transmission. The disease is particularly common in crowded places, making it easier for the virus to spread.

How to Prevent Singapore Flu

Preventing the spread of Singapore Flu can be challenging, as it spreads easily in environments with children. However, there are several preventive measures parents can take to reduce the risk:

  • Regular handwashing: Teach children to wash their hands frequently, especially after using the restroom or before eating.
  • Avoid close contact: Keep sick children away from others until they have fully recovered.
  • Clean toys and surfaces: Frequently disinfect toys, doorknobs, and other surfaces that may come in contact with infected individuals.
  • Encourage respiratory hygiene: Teach children to cover their mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow when coughing or sneezing.

Treatment for Singapore Flu

Although there is no specific medication to cure Singapore Flu, the condition generally resolves on its own within 7-10 days. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and ensuring comfort:

  • Pain relief: Over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help reduce fever and relieve discomfort.
  • Hydration: Encourage your child to drink fluids, especially water and clear liquids, to avoid dehydration.
  • Soft foods: Offer soft, non-acidic foods that are easy to swallow, such as mashed potatoes or yogurt, to avoid further irritation in the mouth.

In rare cases, complications such as dehydration or neurological issues can occur, requiring medical attention. If a child’s symptoms worsen or if they develop new symptoms, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional promptly.

By following these preventive measures and recognizing the symptoms early, parents can help their children recover quickly from Singapore Flu while minimizing the risk of spreading it to others.
