Dear Ask The Doctor: You didnt have a sectopn on hand foot and mouth disease, mylttle sister has had it and im worried that ive got it ie had sore throat headaches and feeling achey but no sores and rashes , is it worth going doctors if i have nothing to show them to diognose me o im worried if i might be i fectious do you think i have it? Dear Chloe: Hand foot and mouth disease is caused by coxsackie virus. The symptoms include fever, painful oral lesions, body rash with sores and diarrhea. Adults are usually immune to the virus. There's no specific treatment for hand-foot-and-mouth disease. The disease usually clear up in seven to 10 days. I would suggest that you watch for your symptoms and if you develop oral sores, you will need to see your doctor. |
