What are some mouth viruses called?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Mouth viruses: There are no specific mouth viruses. Usually those are viruses that affect not just the mouth but other organs/tissues but they have tropism (propensity) to affect mouth more so than others. Coxsackie virus is one of them causing hand, foot, ; mouth disease but there are many others, too.
