Question
How long does it take for the rash of hand, foot, and mouth disease to fade?
Answer
If hand, foot, and mouth disease recurs, the full recovery period is generally 7 to 14 days. Symptoms may include the recurrence of blisters and fever, as well as skin itching or mouth sores, which may lead to drooling. Antiviral medication is necessary for treatment. If there are recurrent episodes of fever, it is important to rule out viral myocarditis or viral meningitis.
