Aaah I’ve got hand foot and mouth and it’s getting me down now. I’m a grown up for goodness sake! Any idea how long this hell is supposed to last?

Thanks Blush

Oh no I had it and it sucks. I still haven't got full feeling back in my fingertips 4 years on Confused. Once the fever has subsided it does get a lot better.

Flowers OP - I had it a couple of years ago. For me the fever lasted 2 days and the hand and foot spots/pain a further 5 ish days. I didn't get any mouth ulcers.

Ah no really?! It’s the mouth ulcers that are killing me. Any suggestions to help get rid or stop the pain? I’ve tried bonjela, iglu and taking nurofen. Still hurts and eating is so painful. Confused

Paracetamol and Nurofen. And I think ice cream too!

Yeah been drugging myself up! I guess I’m just going to have to stop feeling sorry for myself and see this thing through. Thanks!
