When to seek care for Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease
Symptoms of Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease
Visit OneSpotMD if your child shows:
- Fever, especially in the first 1–2 days
- Painful mouth sores or refusal to eat
- Red rash or blisters on hands, feet, or buttocks
- Itchy skin or peeling after initial rash fades
- Fussiness, especially in infants or toddlers
Can I Treat This at Home?
Yes — most cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease can be safely managed at home. Here’s what to do:
- Keep your child hydrated with cold fluids, electrolyte drinks, or popsicles to ease mouth discomfort.
- Use children’s acetaminophen or ibuprofen to lower fever and relieve pain. (Never give aspirin to children.)
- Apply soothing creams like calamine lotion or zinc oxide to help reduce itching and protect the rash.
When to visit urgent care: If your child isn’t drinking, has a persistent high fever, appears weak, or symptoms worsen after a few days, visit OneSpotMD Urgent Care — no appointment needed.
