Hi, my 19 month old baby was diagnosed with Herpangina a week ago. Although the doctor said the virus should disappear on its own within 5 days, a week has passed and my baby still has new emerging blisters. What should I do to help my baby?, she does not want to eat to drink anything lately.
HI...your doctor is right Deranging is a self limiting viral illness. But sometimes it can take 1- 2 weeks to settle. But Deranging blisters will only be there on the soft palate. But if you are seeing blisters on the hands and feet then it could be Hand Foot Mouth disease. His is one viral illness among all other anthems which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it. Regards -
