Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD)

Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is back.

I realised that HFMD normally occurs in the first half of the year. This is usually the time when a lot of children are diagnosed with it.

This time round, apart from routine checks in school, we seriously sent home a lot of children who has symptoms. A little ulcer on the mouth might be the normal ulcers that the children always get. However, we did not take any chances. They were sent home for that little ulcer.

Hope this will go away soon!
