Answer 1

Really? Hand, foot, and mouth disease is usually characterized by tiny blisters on the inside of the mouth and the palms of the hands, fingers, soles of the feet. It is commonly caused by coxsackievirus A16 (an enterovirus), and less often by other types of viruses.

There is no specific treatment for the virus that causes hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Help prevent and control the spread of hand, foot, and mouth disease by:

Washing hands well, especially after going to the bathroom, changing diapers and/or handling diapers or other stool‑soiled material.

Covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.

Washing toys and other surfaces that have saliva on them.

Excluding children from child care or school settings if the child has a fever, uncontrollable “hand to mouth” behavior, not able to contain their secretions, such as ulcers in the mouth and the child is drooling, or draining sores that cannot be covered.

Answer 2

discontinue stool-eating habits.
