A member asked:
Can hand foot and mouth disease last as long as a month? my 15mo. has it and a friend said her child had it for a month. is that realistic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: This is usually a 1-2 week illness. Lasting longer may indicate the diagnosis is in question. See your doctor if iast longer than 2 weeks.
