Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a contagious viral illness that
commonly affects infants and children in the U.S. and abroad. In temperate
climates, HFMD occurs most often in summer and early autumn. While there is no
vaccine to prevent the disease, there are simple steps you and your family can
take to reduce the risk of getting sick.
Symptoms usually begin with a mild fever, poor appetite, malaise (feeling
vaguely unwell), and often a sore throat.
