Can you have hfmd without fever?
My daughter's school sent a notice about HFMD cases, and she has some spots but no fever. Is it possible to have HFMD symptoms without running a temperature?

Yes, you can have HFMD without any fever. When my younger brother got it, he only had the mild skin spots on his palms and no temperature at all. Just ensure a clean diet, plenty of fluids, and consult a doctor for any soothing ointments.

I try to be very careful with health claims, but from what I have seen in my family, HFMD doesn't always come with a fever. It's always best to have a doctor check the rashes to confirm if it's actually HFMD or some other viral rash.

Hey, don't stress too much! Yes, a lot of times kids just get the blisters on their hands and feet without any fever at all. Just keep them hydrated with cold milkshakes or coconut water and they'll be fine in a week.

Yes, dear. It is very common for children to get Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease with just the rash and absolutely no fever. Keep them comfortable, avoid giving them spicy or salty foods that might hurt their mouth sores, and let a pediatrician take a look.

Yes, it is possible. Keep the child isolated as it is highly contagious, and consult a doctor for diagnosis.
