    HFMD is a common viral infection that mainly affects children under 5 years old, involving the hands, feet, mouth, and sometimes genitals or buttocks. It is most often caused by coxsackievirus A16 or enterovirus 71, and spreads through respiratory droplets, blister fluid, saliva, nasal mucus, or stool. Symptoms include fever, painful sores in the mouth and skin lesions on the hands, feet and mouth. While there is no specific treatment, symptoms can be managed by treating fever with antipyretics, pain with pain relievers, and preventing dehydration through adequate fluid intake.
