Hi,

Your child is having HFMD.

HFMD - hand foot mouth disease. It is a self-healing viral fever. No need to worry. It will come down on its own. No specific antiviral drug is available. We have to treat symptomatically. It will not cause serious problems.

You can revisit your doctor for symptomatic treatment for blister and mouth ulcers.

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

Regards,
Dr. Rajmohan, Pediatrician
