My little one had a high fever for a couple of days, and now that the fever is gone, I'm noticing some small red spots. I'm worried it might be HFMD. How long after a fever subsides does the rash associated with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease typically appear?

For my toddler, the rash started showing up 2 days after the fever broke. Did anyone else's child refuse to eat completely because of the painful mouth sores during this phase?

Beta, the small red spots usually come 1 or 2 days after the fever. Don't worry, just give the baby cold milk or soft food, and keep them comfortable.

The rash typically appears 1 to 2 days after the initial fever. Give them cold curd, avoid salty or spicy food entirely, and use a soothing lotion prescribed by your pediatrician to ease the itching.
