Hand foot and mouth disease is on the rise again

New York Metropolitan star pitcher Noah Syndergaard, nicknamed Thor for obvious reasons, was listed on the Major League Baseball 10-day disability list for hand, foot and mouth disease. This highly contagious infection causes symptoms similar to common colds, including fever, sore throat, runny nose, diarrhea and vomiting.

But what really makes HFMD happen is small erythema (hence the name). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), they develop painful blisters that can also occur in the knees, elbows, buttocks or genitals.

New York Metropolitan Manager Mitch Karawi told ESPN that the 25-year-old pitcher, who was visiting a children's baseball camp last week, was probably infected with the disease, which is rare among adults.

& In the game, he did not fully understand. "He knows he has difficulty breathing," Karawi said of the start of Friday's 7-5 victory over the New York Yankees. & When he came out, I put my hand on his leg and talked to him and said, "Hey, man. Is everything all right? I think his legs are shaking. So he's just weak and weak. I think the virus has taken his life. & quot;

played only five innings and Sindgard was sent off, when for the first time he noticed red spots and blisters on his hands. According to Karawi, no one else in the team has had any symptoms so far. The inclusion of

in the 10-day disability list means that although Sindgard will temporarily be removed from the active list of 25 New York Metropolitan people, he is still on the list of 40 people. He had to sit on the bench for at least 10 days, and he could sit longer if needed. Last year, the rise of HFMD cases in kindergartens, day care centers and university campuses attracted the attention of pediatricians. One doctor said that in his 21-year career as a pediatrician, he saw more in 2017 than ever before.

CDC warns that children with HFMD may dehydrate if painful sores prevent them from swallowing enough fluid.

Paediatrician Amanda Griffin told Texas News Channel 10 that pain relief with painkillers (such as Tylenol or ibuprofen) is possible to keep them drinking. Symptoms usually take three to six days to appear. If you start to feel nauseous, make sure your child (or yourself) stays at home.

&Griffin said: "Once the virus enters any environment, it can spread. The most common case is in day care centers, because we usually consider infecting younger children with the virus." But, she said, because adults can also be infected, there has also been an outbreak on University campuses.

You can often wash your hands with soap and water, regularly clean and disinfect the surfaces you touch, avoid close contact with people with hand, foot and mouth disease or share tableware and cups, thereby helping prevent the spread of this nasty virus.

Although there is no specific vaccine or treatment for HFMD, doctors can recommend Tylenol and other drugs to treat HFMD. The disease usually occurs within a week, leaving only a bad taste in the mouth (not literally).

So, fortunately, mlb&39; sToll will return to battle before the rain stops in New York.
