What is it?

Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral illness seen in young children. It causes small red spots, blisters, or sores on the hands, feet, mouth, and sometimes the buttocks or legs. The condition is often accompanied by fever, sore throat, and reduced appetite. It spreads easily through close contact, especially in schools and daycare settings.
