Last week my son was diagnosed as having a viral infection. He had some sores on his legs and feet with maybe one or two on his hands. My wife thinks he had hand foot mouth. Now I have come down with sores, but I have HUNDREDS of them. My hands are completely covered on the palms and partially on the backs. My feet are completely covered on the soles. My throat has a couple or three sores too. Its painful to use my hands or walk. I ve never been this miserable before. Should I go to a doctor? From what I ve read it wold appear I would be wasting my time and should just wait it out. I m just so miserable I start to wonder if my symptoms are too severe to be HFM. Thanks, Dale
Hi... I feel by what you quote you should be having a - Hand Foot Mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other anthems which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it. Regards -
