What Is HFMD?
1. Overview
Hand foot and mouth disease is a disease that is usually found in young children. It is a very common disease and, thankfully, it is also mild. The disease will cause symptoms that can be uncomfortable, especially in young children, but they are not going to be serious.
Despite having the same name, the disease in humans is not the same as the disease that is common in animals. This means that the disease cannot be caught from animals even if they are infected with the animal variety of the disease. The disease should clear up within 10 days or so with no harm being done to the patient.
