personal response 3:Hand,Foot and Mouth Disease

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is caused by the Coxsackie virus and Enterovirus 71.
they will have fever,sore throat ,ulcers in he throat, mouth and tongue ,headache,a rash with vesicles (small blisters, 3-7 mm) on hands, feet and diaper area. The vesicles are typically on the palm side of the hands the sole side of the feet and very characteristic in appearance and loss of appetite .
I can prevent HFMD by keeping away from crowded public places and follow good hygiene practices, including frequent hand washing, to limit the spread of the infection.
