Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious infection, caused by viruses from the
Enterovirus family, most commonly the 'coxsackie virus'.
It is characterized by blisters or sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet.
In most cases, the infection will go away without treatment by 7 to 10 days. However, taking the following would help to ease symptoms until the disease has run its course. These can include:
1. Over-the-counter topical
ointments to soothe blisters and rashes.
2.
Analgesic medication, such as
acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to relieve
headaches.
3. Medicated syrups or lozenges to ease painful sore throats.
4. Swishing warm salt water around in the mouth helps relieve the pain associated with mouth blisters and throat sores.
5. Avoid cold beverages, citrus fruits, fruit drinks, spicy or salty foods.
She should get better from the symptoms gradually.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
