Watch out for Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease in Children!
Warning that Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease (HFMD) can spread rapidly in communal living areas during the summer months, Child Health and Diseases Specialist Dr. Seda Göçer said, ''HFMD is more common in summer, especially in children under the age of 5. If treatment is neglected, serious complications such as nail loss, heart and neurological system involvement may develop, although rarely.''
