How long does fever last with hfmd?

My son had HFMD last term and the fever lasted for exactly 2 days. The main issue was eating, as the throat had painful blisters. I gave him cold custard and ice-creams, which kept him hydrated and happy.

According to our doctor, the coxsackievirus causes a brief fever of 100-102 degrees for 48 to 72 hours. He emphasized that the fever shouldn't linger beyond 4 days, and if it does, it could mean a secondary infection.

I know how terrifying it looks when those spots appear alongside a fever. The fever itself should settle in 2 to 3 days, so take a deep breath. You are doing great, just keep monitoring their fluids.

Fever lasts about 2-3 days. When my younger sibling had it, we focused on cold protein shakes and smoothies to keep their nutrition levels up since solid food was too painful to chew.

The fever is there for 3 days, but the whining lasts a week! It is a tough phase for the parents too. Keep some cold yogurt ready and hang in there.

I actually caught this from my toddler last week! The fever lasted for 3 days and my joints were aching. The mouth ulcers made eating a nightmare, but the fever itself went away pretty fast.

For HFMD, the fever is usually mild and lasts about 48 hours. I manage thyroid issues so I always prefer proper medical opinions and tests over self-diagnosis. Make sure to consult your pediatrician to confirm it is indeed HFMD.

The fever peaks on day 1 and usually clears by day 3. My tip is to avoid giving any hot, spicy, or sour foods as it will burn their mouth. Keep them on cold curd rice or milkshakes till the throat heals.

Yes, the fever is short-lived, around 2 to 3 days maximum. Just focus on keeping the child comfortable as the skin blisters can itchy.

Fever lasts 2-3 days, but you will need to plan for at least 7 days off from daycare or school. The rashes are highly contagious until they dry up. Budget your time and keep them isolated to prevent it from spreading.

Usually the fever subsides in 2 days. My grandmother suggested applying fresh neem paste on the body rashes, which we did to cool the skin, but we strictly used the soothing creams prescribed by our doctor.
