HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may have hand foot and mouth disease.
This is a viral illness that presents with sores or blister type rash on the hands, feet and mouth.
It can also cause a sore throat, fever, fatigue and in some persons may also cause vomiting.
It is contagious illness and though it is most usually seen in children, it can also be seen in adults as well.
There is no specific medication used for this condition. The treatment is mainly supportive, this means only treating specific symptoms that occur.
A mouth spray or gargle can be used to help with the sores in your mouth and the sore throat. Examples are chloroseptic spray or gargle , difflam mouth wash
These mouth washes would help with pain and also the infection.
These can be bought from your local pharmacy.
Make sure that you drink enough fluids
You can continue the tylenol, it would help with the fever and any pain you may have.
The symptoms last a week to 10 days.
It is not a life threatening condition.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
