My 8 yr old boy had a very sore throat. It hurts so bad he doesn t even want to swallow his saliva. He had a rash on the soles of his feet. I thought it might be hand, foot and mouth disease, but the trash itches. It might be unrelated to his sore throat, but what should I do about his very sore throat. It keeps waking him up. He has a fever of 100.5 F
Hi...you may be right because even hand foot mouth disease itches a lot. You can use some over the counter anti-allergic medication, as of now. I also want to tell you that if it is hand foot mouth disease it is a self limiting condition, and it will settle in a few days to 2 weeks. But there may be a skin peeling in 4-6 weeks at the finger and toe tips. Regards -
