#healthchannel #HandFootMouthDisease

[sundarimahalingam]

I got this a few days ago. - I'm 35 years old..
Day 1 fever
Day 2 Tiredness
Day 3 Tiredness
Day 4 sudden pain while walking and standing
Day 5 small blisters on hand foot, and pain while walking
Day 6 blisters spread over the foot, face (mostly around mouth, nose edges), and hand. Itchy and painful while walking/moving fingers.
Day 7 Itchy and flacks fall one by one and able to walk


- At the right time, I found that drinking more water and eating less spicy food greatly helps.
- Mainly I used "calamine clear" lotion from Walmart. this helped me to have a peaceful itch free sleep on day 5...
- Change bed sheet, and pillow cover every day.
- take a warm water shower and wash hair with tea tree shampoo on the second day of symptom, which helped a lot to clear scalp blisters.
- I apply calamine lotion on my foot and wear socks in the morning and I just remove it and apply calamine lotion again before going to bed and leave my foot air dry while sleeping.
- I also kept a few Neem leaves ( you can get them in Indian grocery stores) inside my socks in the morning.
- I had dates to boost my immune system.


Prayers for all who are suffering, for speedy recovery.

I can tell you from experience it is very contagious and adults can get it just as bad as children.

I had it at 39-40 y.o. it was horrible. It was in the obvious places plus the back of my head, neck, everywhere really. It hurt so mf bad. I musta had 200 bumps on the back of my head.. was ecstatic once it was finally over.

Contracted this at 29. I have sore and painful throat, loss of voice, and blisters on my scalp. My kids had fever for 2 days straight before they got these nasty blisters too.

A few days ago i was infected with hand foot and mouth disease and its been a living hell with this disease 😭

The sores on the sole of my feet and bottom are the worse! It hurts to walk, it hurts to sit, it hurts to adjust yourself while you're sitting. This is only my 4th day, my 3rd day with the bumps, and I am ready for this to go away!

Can anybody tell me how long until I can at least eat and drink without this horrible pain in the throat. I’m on day 5 and it’s not improving. 🤦🏻‍♂️
