Anyone deal with herpangina or hand, foot & mouth?

DD had a fever with seemingly no other symptoms. I took her to pedi and when he looked in her mouth he diagnosed her with herpangina (a milder form of hand, foot & mouth disease). She is just miserable today and I understand the sores can really hurt.

If anyone had a LO with it, I'm wondering how long till they felt better and the fever went away. Also, how high did the fever get?

Thanks!

    hey there!  :)

    I dont know alot about it but it is going around at our daycare and I am freaking out.  I think the fever comes first and its generally high and then 2-3 days later the sores come.  I thought LO had it, but her fever broke this weekend and other then a rash on her knees (she just started crawling) nothing yet.   The sores can last up to 7-10 days... I think that is what makes it so miz.

    Good Luck, I hope Mia feels better soon!  :(

    DS had it.  I think he was over it in about a week.  It was awful while it lasted, though.  He didn't have a breakout anywhere other than his throat so he was completely miserable.
