Hello,
I think they are both having feet, mouth and hand disease. It is caused by a viral infection. It is common for the kids of this age who live in the community to have it. It can go by itself in 5 days. You can give them ketotifen for itching. No treatment is required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
