About Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
This viral infection, seen mainly in small children, causes fever, painful mouth ulcers and a blistering rash on palms and soles. It is normally mild, clears in a week to ten days and is unrelated to the cattle disease with a similar name.
Causes and Risk Factors
Coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus A71 are the usual viruses. Contact with saliva, blister fluid, droplets or stools passes them on, which is why kids’ clubs, nurseries and shared pools are hotspots. The illness starts 3 to 6 days after exposure and adults can catch it as well.

Treatment can involve fluids, soothing mouth care and paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain, as no specific antiviral is needed.
