About Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral infection, mainly in young children, that causes fever, painful mouth ulcers and a blister-like rash on the palms and soles. It is typically mild and clears up on its own within 7 to 10 days. It is not related to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.
Causes and Risk Factors
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 common places for spread. Symptoms appear 3 to 6 days after contact, and adults can be infected too.

How Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Is Treated
On a video visit the doctor can see the mouth ulcers and rash, rule out other causes of blisters and advise on fluids, pain and fever relief and when a child can return to the pool or kids’ club. No specific antiviral is needed, and any medicine can be sent as an e-prescription. Typical choices are fluids, soothing mouth care and paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain, as no specific antiviral is needed.
- Offer plenty of cool fluids, little and frequently, to prevent dehydration
- Give soft, cool foods such as yoghurt, ice lollies or soup; avoid salty, spicy or acidic food
