Hello. I'm Dr Ranj. Welcome to my surgery. Are you well?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Ah, good. But someone isn't feeling very well.

I wonder who my next patient is.

Who's come to visit me? Who will it be?

Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.

I recognise him.

It's Deep.

# When I go to the doctor I tremble and I sigh

# I'm a little quiet, I'm a bit shy

# But Dr Ranj is gentle He always find a way

# To make me feel that everything is going to be OK

# So, I can climb up to the castle And clamber down again

# Or snuggle with a storybook Or sit and watch the rain

# Cos Dr Ranj is gentle He always finds a way

# To make me feel that everything is going to be OK. #

Come on in, Deep.

-Hello. Good to see you.

-Hello, Doctor.

-Ooh, is it cold outside?

-No.

-Are you not feeling well?

-No.

My mouth hurts inside.

-Ah, dear. That's not much fun, is it?

-Mm.

And there's something wrong with my hands and feet.

I can see that.

Your hands are very big and your feet are furry.

It's because I'm wearing gloves and slippers.

That's OK, then!

-What's wrong with your hands and feet?

-I've got spots.

-Spots? On your hands and feet?

-Mm. I don't like spots.

I'd better have a closer look at you. Can you hop onto the couch?

OK.

-If you take those gloves off, I'll be able to see what's wrong.

-Oh.

That's better. So, Deep, show me these spots.

Oh, I see.

-And some of the spots are like bubbles on my skin.

-I can see that.

-Those small bubbles are called blisters.

-Blisters.

-That's it.

You might have some blisters inside your mouth.

Maybe that's why it's sore. Can I take a look?

-Mmm...

-Don't worry, I won't touch anything.

I need to shine a light in there so I can see.

Open wide and look inside.

Ahhh.

You can close your mouth now.

You DO have some blisters inside your mouth, and a sore throat.

-Why have I got spots and blisters?

-Come over here and I'll explain.

Nice gloves, Deep. They look very...warm.

-They are.

-You don't have to wear gloves when you've got spots

-and blisters on your hands.

-I want to. They're comfy.

Remember to take them off again soon, so your hands don't get too hot.

OK, Dr Ranj. I will.

You've got hand, foot and mouth disease.

It's called that because you get spots on your hands, feet and mouth.

-Oh, no! Diseases are bad, aren't they?

-Some diseases are.

Hand, foot and mouth disease sounds scary, but isn't.

Lots of children get it.

-That's why you've got it. You caught it from someone else.

-How?

It's caused by a germ called a virus. If someone has a virus,

they can pass on to others when they cough and sneeze.

Sometimes, it's passed on in people's hands.

Are you going to give me medicine to make me better?

No, Deep. I'm not.

-Oh!

-There isn't a medicine for hand, foot and mouth disease.

Why do I have to take medicine sometimes but not other times?

That's a really good question. Want to ask Nurse Morag to explain?

Yes, please!

-Hello, Nurse Morag.

-Hello, Dr Ranj. Who's that?

Deep, and he wants to ask an interesting question about medicine.

Hello, Nurse Morag.

When I'm poorly, why do I have to take medicine sometimes

and other times, I don't have to take any?

That's a very interesting question.

I think I need my Healthy Helpers to help me answer it.

# Catch that ball, yeah, it's your go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell How you can keep fit and well

# Catch that ball, yeah, it's you're go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

# Ask me what you need to know

# Catch that ball, yeah, it's your go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

# Ask me what you need to know

# Give me questions, catch and throw. #

Today, I'm in York and my Healthy Helpers are...

Hello. My name is Lydia and I like going swimming with my mummy.

Hello. My name is Phil and I like playing hide and seek.

Hello, my name's Emily

and I like going on holiday with my nana and grandad.

Hello. My name's Perry and I like to ride on my bike.

OK, Healthy Helpers, who here has been ill?

-OK, what was wrong?

-I had a cold.

And how did it make you feel?

Very unwell.

-And did you have to go to the doctor's?

-No.

You just got better by yourself. That's good.

And tell me, who else has been ill?

And what was wrong with you?

I had to go to the hospital because I broke my arm.

Oh, my goodness! And what was wrong with you?

-I got a temperature.

-You had a temperature.

How did you get rid of it?

I had to have pink medicine and I had to have a thermometer.

And did the pink medicine help?

-How long did you have to take it for?

-One day.

One day, it worked that quick. Great.

When Mummy said, "Cake," I said, "I'm better now!"

That was the best medicine then, eh?

What about you, what was wrong with you when you were poorly?

-I had a poorly bottom.

-Did you?

-Oh, my goodness.

-I had medicine.

Did the doctor give you the medicine?

So some of you get better on your own

but some of you had to have help from medicine.

-Will we go and find out why that is?

-ALL: Yeah!

-I can't hear you!

-Yeah!

OK, let's go, then.

OK, Healthy Helpers. Deep wants to know why sometimes

we have to take medicine and why sometimes, we don't.

What we're going to do is

pretend that this pool is the human body.

Can I have a volunteer to be a Healthy Helper?

I think, Lydia, you should do it. Lydia can be the Healthy Helper.

Now, what we need to do is

show how germs can get into the human body.

Right, Theo, you put in the red germs. Are you ready, Lydia?

That's it, Lydia, get rid of them, quick as you can.

We're all born with natural defences to fight germs.

Well done!

Have you got rid of all the red germs, Lydia?

-Yes, all gone.

-Good.

Now we're going to see what happens when we introduce

a different kind of germ.

But hang on, our Healthy Helper is finding it difficult

to get rid of the blue germs on her own.

I think she needs some help.

ALL: Medicine to the rescue!

That's right, medicine.

Doctors give us the right medicine to fight bugs.

OK, medicine, give her a hand.

That's it, get rid of all the blue balls as fast as you can.

Faster, medicine, faster!

Well done! Medicine has helped us get rid of all the blue germs.

-And the body is healthy again.

-ALL: Hurray!

Now we know our bodies can get rid of some germs on its own

but other germs are harder to get rid of

and we need help from medicine. Hope that answers

the question why sometimes we need medicine and sometimes we don't.

ALL: Bye-bye, Deep. Get well soon.

Thank you, Healthy Helpers.

Bye, Healthy Helpers. Bye, Nurse Morag.

Bye, Dr Ranj. See you again soon.

Do you understand why I'm not giving you medicine?

The spots and blisters will go away on their own in a week.

Oh, I wish you could make them go away quicker

because my mouth is sore. And it hurts sometimes when I eat.

OK, try to eat soft things that won't hurt your mouth say much,

like jelly and ice cream.

I love jelly and ice cream.

Jelly and ice cream are much better than medicine.

-Oh.

-What's up?

Dr Ranj, if I hold hands with my mum

while I've got hand, foot and mouth disease, will she get it, too?

Not as long as you both remember to keep your hands free of germs

by washing and drying them properly.

And cover your mouth when you cough and use a tissue when you sneeze.

Don't give them the blister, mister!

I still feel a bit embarrassed about my spotty hands and feet.

What am I going to do?

# There's spots in your mouth and more upon your feet

# Your temperature's rising, now can you feel the heat?

# There's spots on your hand, you may look a little hot

-# There's no need to worry 'cos I know what you got.

-What?

# It's hand, foot and mouth disease Just a little germ and nurse agrees

# It's hand, foot and mouth disease

# Lot of dotty spots but none upon your knees

# It's hand, foot and mouth disease Just a little germ and nurse agrees

# It's hand, foot and mouth disease

# A lot of dotty spots but none upon your knees.

Nurse Morag says I've got lovely knees.

# There's a germ in your body but it's not going to last

# The spots on your skin are gonna clear up fast

# It's hand, foot and mouth disease Just a little germ and nurse agrees

# It's hand, foot and mouth disease

# Lot of dotty spots but none upon your knees

# It's hand, foot and mouth disease

# Just a little germ and nurse agrees

# It's hand, foot and mouth disease

# Lot of dotty spots but none upon your knees

# But none upon your knees

# But none upon your knees. #

No need to worry about having hand, foot and mouth disease.

It will soon go and you'll feel better.

I know, and no more spots and blisters.

Do all the things we talked about

and you won't pass the virus on to other people.

I remember - don't give him the blister, mister!

Well done, you deserve a badge.

Thanks, Dr Ranj. Goodbye!

Bye, Deep. Get well soon.

It's time for me to go now, too.

See you next time. And remember - be happy, be healthy!
