Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a common virus that usually appears as a blister-like rash on a child’s hands, feet, and buttocks. The blisters can sometimes occur inside the mouth as well. HFMD is a mild illness that most children get over in about a week.
It’s most common in young children who have not been vaccinated against it yet or have had contact with someone else who has HFMD. Make sure your child has plenty of fluids and rest at home if they have this illness because they may feel tired for several days after recovering from it
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a common virus that usually appears as a blister-like rash on a child’s hands, feet, and buttocks.
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a common illness that may cause blisters on the hands, feet, and buttocks of children. It can also appear inside the mouth.
The virus is spread through direct contact with a person infected with HFMD or through contact with objects such as toys or food utensils used by an infected person. You should avoid sharing personal items such as pacifiers and bottle nipples with infants under 2 years old who have HFMD because they are more likely to become infected if you do so.
The blisters can sometimes occur inside the mouth as well.
HFMD is a common virus that causes a mild illness. The blisters can sometimes occur inside the mouth as well. It can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and touching contaminated objects.
Symptoms include:
- fever
- tiredness or tiredness without being ill (fatigue)
- aching muscles
- red spots on the skin
HFMD is a mild illness that most children get over in about a week.
HFMD is a mild illness that most children get over in about a week. Most children will recover completely, but some may have a fever or cold symptoms for a few days after getting the virus.
A small number of cases do become serious enough to require treatment in hospital and hospitalization should be considered if there are any signs of respiratory distress (coughing up mucus) or diarrhea lasting more than seven days with fever, vomiting, and dehydration; otherwise, treat at home with acetaminophen (Tylenol) only as needed for pain relief by mouth every two hours until improved appetite returns.
It’s most common in young children.
HFMD is most common in children under 5 years old. It’s rare in children under 1 year old, and it’s even more unusual for a child between the ages of 1 and 4 years old to get HFMD.

- Fluid intake is important during the first 24 to 48 hours of infection, especially for children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children get about 2 pints of fluids every day for several days after a fever has subsided (1). Children who have a condition called chronic kidney disease may need even more fluids because their kidneys are already working very hard to filter out toxins from their bloodstream.
- Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages such as soda pop or sports drinks; caffeine-containing foods like chocolate milk; alcohol (including alcoholic beverages); aspirin products; acetaminophen products—all should be avoided until your child’s fever has disappeared completely (2).
- Giving any medication to someone who isn’t old enough can be dangerous because it increases their risk for both side effects and serious complications involving normal functions like breathing or blood pressure levels that aren’t supposed to change under normal circumstances!
