A. Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is common among young children and is caused by a viral infection, usually enterovirus or coxsackievirus. It's characterized by red spots or rashes on the hands, feet, and mouth, and sometimes on other areas of the body. In most cases, HFMD is mild, and the symptoms resolve on their own within 7 to 10 days. The rashes can sometimes take a little longer to heal, but the fever and discomfort typically subside after a few days. Since your pediatrician has already prescribed medication, it is likely to help manage the symptoms such as fever, pain, and inflammation. You should continue to follow their instructions for medication and care. To ensure a faster recovery, it's important to keep your child hydrated and avoid foods that might irritate the sores in the mouth, such as spicy or acidic foods. If the rashes are not improving within 10 days or if there are other concerning symptoms like difficulty breathing or extreme irritability, it's a good idea to follow up with your doctor. However, with proper care and attention, most children recover fully from HFMD within one to two weeks.
