sounds like the diagnosis is right. my daughter had it for 2 weeks and only on gums tongue and lips. never on her hands or feet. very painful but it did go away. she was 2 though.
what causes high fever sores on lips and in mouth general malaise. patient is 15 years and has been treated 9 days. patient began with sore throat and fever which quickly shot to 103 -104. he was taken to emergency room and the diagnosis was possible hand foot and mouth but no sores on his hands or feet. he has been treated with azithromax for 9 days now and the fever is subsiding but the sores on and in his mouth gums tongue and back of throat are raw open oozing and very painful. he still is unable to eat no more than milkshakes gator aid. also the smell is becoming bad like rotten meat.
