Question

Is a fever of 40 degrees dangerous with hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Hand, foot, and mouth disease symptoms are a group of clinical symptoms caused by a viral infection, primarily characterized by fever, sores in the mouth, and rashes on the hands and feet. Generally, recovery occurs within 7 days, so there is no need to worry. When fever and other clinical symptoms are present, symptomatic treatment can be effective.
