Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

You may have hand, foot and mouth disease. This is a viral infection that is contagious.

It is normally seen in children but can be seen in adults as well.

It is not usually associated with any significant complications.

Treatment mainly consists of : (1)preventing transmission to others- it can be transmitted via contact with skin lesion, nasal secretions, contact with contaminated surfaces, faeces

(2)anti septic and analgesic mouth washes may help with the lesions in the mouth- eg diflam, covonia, chloroseptic

(3)pain medication for any discomfort

The condition can last for a week to 10 days.

I hope this helps
