Hand foot and mouth in adults

2 replies

Hello,I’ve caught hand foot and mouth off of my kids, and wondering if anyone can shed any light on how long I will continue to get new blisters for and when they stop and you turn a corner? I’m on day 3 and have a fair few on my tongue and throat and hands but they aren’t too awful but wondering if I should expect them to get worse? Thanks

My DH caught this from our daughter years ago
I can't really answer your question but I do remember he felt rough for about a week

Ah ok thank you… a week doesn’t seem too bad compared to some things I’ve read. I’m on day 4 and other than the blisters being a bit sore and a headache I feel ok! Going on holiday on Monday and was just wondering if I was going to feel better or worse by then lol!
