Hi thanks for asking this on Chat Doctor, HAND FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE IS CAUSED BY ENTER VIRUS WHICH PRESENTS WITH SORE THROAT AND RASHES IN YOUR MOUTH. IT USUALLY DOESN'T NEED ANY TREATMENT YOU CAN TAKE COOL LIQUIDS TO HELP WITH YOUR SORE THROAT. AVOID SPICY AND HOT FOODS. IF YOU HAVE FEVER AND PAIN YOU C.AN TAKE PARACETAMOL.DON'T WORRY IT WILL SUBSIDE IN 2 TO 3 DAYS. HOPE THIS HELPED
