What Can Cause Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Enteroviruses, most frequently coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus A71. The virus spreads through saliva, fluid from blisters, coughs and sneezes and stools, so it moves quickly through nurseries, hotel kids’ clubs and swimming areas. Symptoms normally appear 3 to 6 days after contact. Adults can catch it too, typically with milder symptoms.
Typical Symptoms
- Fever and feeling unwell
- Rash that can also appear on the buttocks, knees or elbows
- Sore throat and painful mouth ulcers
- Red spots that turn into small blisters on the palms and soles
- Loss of appetite and drooling in small children
