Hand, foot, and mouth disease is commonly caused by enteroviruses like coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus 71. It usually causes a fever and sore throat along with rashes on the hands, feet, and mouth. While it is often mild, hand, foot, and mouth disease is very contagious and most common in children under 5 years old. To prevent its spread, proper hand washing and avoiding contact with infected individuals is recommended.
