Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease Explained
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 not related to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle. It is usually mild and clears up on its own within 7 to 10 days.
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.
Preventing Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Wash hands frequently, especially after nappy changes and before eating, do not share cups, cutlery or towels, and keep a child with blisters or fever away from pools and kids’ clubs until they recover.
