Online searches for NHS advice on common childhood illnesses surged in 2024, according to new figures compiled by NHS England. Five of the ten most visited health conditions on the NHS website last year mostly affect children, with three of them seeing significant increases compared to 2023. Visits to the hand, foot and mouth disease page increased by 46% on the previous year – moving it from 14th place to the third most viewed page in 2024 (2.8 million visits compared with 1.9 million in 2023). Symptoms include mouth ulcers and a raised rash of spots on the hands and feet.
