There are many viral infections that cause rash in kids. Usually mouth is also involved in hand foot and mouth disease which is also viral infection that is mild and natural immunity in kids will clear it in a week time, but it is contagious means spread from one person to other very easily. You need not worry but maintain their nutrition, as well as your self-care and do the symptomatic treatment that Chat Doctor. This is enough. You need to maintain hygiene also and till the symptoms are fully subsided don't send them to school and let them take adequate rest.
