It is a viral infection. \u00a0It causes red-ringed blisters and ulcers on the tonsils and soft palate (the fleshy back portion of the mouth). Some children suddenly develop fevers of 101-104 degrees Fahrenheit, headache, and muscle aches, a sore throat or flu-like symptoms. In most children the fever lasts about 3 days, then disappears.\u00a0 The fever may reappear 2 or 3 days later and last a few days more. The symptoms generally last 3-6 days. \u00a0The incubation period (the time between infection and the onset of symptoms) is about 2-10 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coxsackie viruses are very\ncontagious.&nbsp; They\u2019re usually passed from\nperson to person on unwashed hands and surfaces contaminated by feces.&nbsp; They can also be spread through droplets of\nfluid sprayed in to the air when someone sneezes or coughs. A child is most\ncontagious the first week they\u2019re sick. &nbsp;Handwashing\nis the best prevention of the coxsackie virus. Remind your child and all\nmembers of your family to wash their hands frequently, particularly after using\nthe toilet, changing diapers and before meal preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please keep your child home if\nhe\/she complains of a sore throat and pain with swallowing.&nbsp; Take your child to the doctor for any of the\nsymptoms listed above. Please notify me or the office if your child has any\ncommunicable disease. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your cooperation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deborah Czerniak RN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Howe School Nurse<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(313) 827-7009<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"607\" height=\"1009\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrskubert\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1986\/2019\/10\/nurse.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrskubert\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1986\/2019\/10\/nurse.png 607w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mrskubert\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1986\/2019\/10\/nurse-180x300.png 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parents\/Guardians: There has been a case of Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (Coxsackievirus Herpangina) reported in Mrs. Kubert\u2019s class.
