How Can A Severe Form Of Coxsackievirus And Blisters Caused By It Treated?

I have been diagnosed with a severe form of coxsackie virus. I am an adult and had the blisters everywhere including 100s of them on my head. I am on day 7 of my illness and my hands have started to peel. However, the tips of my fingers are numb. Will this numbness soon disappear?

Hi XXXX
Thanks for your query at HCM!
I am Dr. Sheetal Verma an Infectious Disease Specialist answering to your query!
I went through your query and understand your concern.


Most enterovirus coxsackievirus infections are usually mild and resolve spontaneously; however, intensive supportive care may be needed for cardiac, hepatic, or CNS disease. IV, intrathecal, or intraventricular immunoglobulin has been used with apparent success in some cases for the treatment of chronic enterovirus meningoencephalitis and dermatomyositis in patients with hypogammaglobulinemia or agammaglobulinemia. With time improvement will be seen. Be in regular follow up with your physician.
Hope I have answered your question. If you would like some more information I will be happy to provide. It would be kind if you hit a thanks if found helpful. You can also write a review for me. Wish you good health
