Does Rashes In Legs Abdomen With Dizziness Suggest Foot & Mouth Disease?

My grandbaby has foot,hand, mouth disease and I keep him. A few days later, I think I got this disease. I have rash on my legs, abdomen, extreme itching, dizziness, tiredness. However, I do not have rash on my hands, or feet or in mouth. So, do I have this FHMD.

Hi,

I think you don't have foot hands and mouth disease. It doesn't give abdominal rash. It has pain in mouth, rash in hands and feet not in entire length of legs. Maybe you are suffering an allergic reaction to some drug you have been exposed.

Take any antihistamines such Benadryl or Cetirizine for itching and rash.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,

Hand foot and mouth disease is an infectious and contagious skin disease caused by virus. It is likely that you might have got the hand foot and mouth disease and it is not necessary that the lesion should occur on the foot and hands. It can occur any where on body. Hands and feet are commonly involved.
It is self healing disease.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
