Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Sore throat is one of the associated symptom occurring in hand, foot and mouth disease. It is caused due to inflammation of mucosa of pharynx.
Kindly take the medications as prescribed for the disorder.
Along with that, kindly do the following to overcome sore throat.
1. Salt water gargling with warm water thrice daily.
2. Use of decongestant and antiinflammatory medications.
3. Use of throat soothening agents like medicated lozanges.
Gradually, child should recover from these symptoms and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
