What are the symptoms?
An alarm has been raised recently about children’s viruses, specifically in Coke. Especially in Larissa, the incidents in the educational structures of the region have increased as within a week more than three children under the age of 5 have developed symptoms in every daycare center and kindergarten in the city.
Experts point out that it is something normal during this period.
At the same time, as reported in a related report by ERT scientists draw attention to parents, as the virus is highly contagious.
The symptoms of the coxsackie virus
The coxsack is divided into type A and B. In our country, most cases are due to type A, which presents milder symptoms and its incubation period is from 3 to 6 days.
The symptoms are fever, sore throat, cough, diarrhoea, runny nose and blisters on the buttocks, mouth, soles and palms of children are characteristic. We also have a lot of laryngitis during this period, while in the next period, due to the season, an outbreak of the flu and also of the seasonal respiratory virus is expected.
Doctors point out to parents that when they see symptoms in their children they should not send them to school.
