Medical Term

[El Taco Loco]

Anyone can please translate this medical term?

มือเท้าปากเปื่อย

or

โรคมือเท้าปากเปื่อย

It is not measles, pox, mumps.. He has spots inside his mouth, could be contagious. Has fever at night. Has spots on his feet and parts of his arm. Kids across the street whom he has never played with ALL have it and it lasts 5 to 10 days.

Thanks a million.

I'm not a doctor.

E-Lib shows โรคมือเท้าปากเปื่อย as hand foot mouth syndrome

[El Taco Loco]

Thanks for the responses the PMs..

Finally I have it and you are all correct.

Foot and mouth disease.. not the same as the cow foot and mouth..

Here is a link in English. This may or should be moved to the health or family forum. Quite common in Thailand.

This is the hand-foot-and-mouth disease.

edit: Seems my post became outdated as I worked. Good to see that I came up with the same thing Farma posted first though.

Not on topic - however early treatment of foot & mouth is essential. If the virus gets into the kids brain - big problems.

Thanks for all the responses. Correct on the brain issue. The CDC noted that.
