Anyone’s kid ever had HFM or strep rash? I took my daughter to the doctor today and they said it’s HFM but to me it looks more like strep rash. She says her throat hurts. Doc said she has spots in her throat… but strep test was negative. But she has a red blotchy bright red rash around her mouth, on the tops of her legs, on her arms and tops of her hands. She’s had HFM before and it was like blisters… this is just bright red and blotchy not raised at all. Almost looks like red kool aid stain.
Did they test for Strep B or just A?
HFM causes a sore throat… they will get blisters in the mouth and throat too. my son just had it 2 months ago. He also had the sore neck muscles, head ache. It hit him pretty hard. All of that came before the blisters on the hands and feet.
