E-rx.onlineUnderstanding Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a frequent viral infection, mainly in young children, that causes fever, painful mouth ulcers and a blister-like rash on the palms and soles. It is normally mild and clears up on its own within 7 to 10 days. It is not related to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.
Typical Symptoms
