Its a Virus!: There's no specific treatment for hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Signs and symptoms of hand-foot-and-mouth disease usually clear up in seven to 10 days. Over-the-counter pain medications other than aspirin, such as Acetaminophen (tylenol, others) or Ibuprofen (advil, motrin, others), may help relieve general discomfort.
