General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,


Thanks for your question on HCM



I do understand your pain and discomfort



"As" per your history is concerned take an antibiotic to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Add a steroid prednisone for short period. Do not kiss others, and do not sharing food, dishes, glasses, and utensils until several days after your fever has subsided and even longer, if possible.



Hope that helps



God bless you
