It is a very mild virus called Coxsakievirus, very often caught at day cares and childcare centers where children congregate ,wash and keep the areas clean,it can be spread around to others in the family.Lasts 3-5 days ..good luck .
oh meant to say if you look it up on" google " search it then you can find out more details and maybe pictures on "google images" to put your mind at rest . I had never even heard of it before my son had it.
