Understanding Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral illness in young children with fever, sore mouth ulcers and blisters on the hands and feet. It usually resolves in 7 to 10 days and has no link with foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.
Why Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Happens
Enteroviruses, mostly coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus A71, cause it. They spread through saliva, blister fluid, coughs, sneezes and stools, so nurseries, kids’ clubs and pools are frequent places for spread. Symptoms appear 3 to 6 days after contact, and adults can be infected too.
