Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease (HFMD): Symptoms & Causes
June 2, 2025 - Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a very contagious viral infection that causes a blister-like rash on your child’s hands and feet and painful sores in their mouth. The disease most often affects babies and children younger than 5 years old.

Field Guide for Hand Foot Mouth Disease
We’re in the trenches too. The first ever play date I hosted at our house and the mom mentions midway through that her daughter had been sent home from daycare a few days previous with suspected HFM, but the pediatrician said it wasn’t. The sores and rash all over my kids’ hands, feet, and mouths say other wise, Karen.
Ugh. Solidarity. We’re on day five according to my calendar. Definitely improving. I’ve thrown everything both modern and natural medicine have to offer at the creatures in the hopes that they’ll feel better. I don’t think much has helped. But sometimes the act of doing something brings solace.

January 10, 2016We survived Hand, foot and mouth disease and I'm here to tell you what I learned.
We’ve had HFM twice this fall. First time wasn’t so bad, just a rash that didn’t seem to bother him. No fever, no mouth sores. The second time was probably the most harrowing experience I’ve had in parenting so far. Started with a fever and extreme fussiness, then the rash, and then the mouth sores. Once those showed up, eating/drinking was excruciating for him, so he stopped nursing/eating/drinking. He went 14 hours. I was so relieved when he woke up the next morning and nursed, but then he stopped again for TWENTY SEVEN MORE HOURS. He wouldn’t take a popsicle or anything. I was on the phone with nurse advice constantly. There was nothing we could do but wait it out, alternate Tylenol and Motrin, dab a q tip of Mylanta in his mouth every 6 hours, and try to syringe fluids into him. It apparently wasn’t ER worthy unless he dropped below 4 pees in 24 hours, which he somehow scraped by. It was miserable. There was nothing anyone could do to help us unless we crossed the line into emergency level dehydration. Thankfully when he started drinking again, it was like a switch had flipped and he was nearly back to his normal self the next day. But yeah. Wouldn’t wish a bad case of HFM on my worst enemy. Edit: forgot to mention that as he started feeling better, I came down with a fever and got to have my own bout with the mouth sores and rash 🙃 way worse watching my baby go through it, though.
