Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that it seems to be HFMD. But, there is no specific treatment for that. It usually improves within 10 days without any special treatment. Do you have painful sores in your mouth? In such case an oral antiseptic and anesthetic would help reduce the pain. It is also necessary avoiding spicy food.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
