HFM in adults, how long to heal?

[Solasum]

Hands and feet feel like constant pins and needles and hard to bend fingers, round mouth looks disgusting. Sore throat now much better though. I am disgusting :(

If you have had it, how long did it take for blisters to go?

Poor you DH had this, he was off work for 3 weeks I'm afraid, he was really quite poorly with it. It looked so sore

What have you been given in the way of pain relief?

[Solasum]

3 weeks?! Oh nooooo. :(


I have taken paracetamol and antihistamine, but online advice (apart from saying adults don't usually get HFM) says really you can only wait it out, and I am staying with my parents and nit registered with a doctor here anyway.

I took DH to the nearest walk in centre and they prescribed him cocodomol and something else. It definitely helped! He was in a lot of pain.
