Hand, : Hand, foot and mouth disease is a viral illness usually comprised of fever, painful blisters in the mouth, and rash. It typically affects infants and children under 5 years of age. The symptoms usually clear within 7 to 10 days. If your child has had 2 months of non-stop symptoms, it may not be hand, foot and mouth disease, but another illness depending on what her symptoms are. You should call your doctor to discuss your concerns. Your daughter may need testing to figure out what she has and how to help her.

Another opinion: My suggestion is to see another doctor. How about a dermatologist to see if that will help.
