高熱は下がったものの、今度は手と足と口に謎の湿疹が…Ouch
それで病院に行ったら【手足口病】だって？！??（アメリカでもそのままHand, Foot and Mouth Disease）調べたら5歳以下の幼児がかかる病気ですやん←???
なんでウイルスさん間違えて私の体内に入られましたかね？?笑

Although high fever went down, I have a mysterious eczema in hands, feet and mouth this time …

Ouch Do you go to the hospital [hand foot / mouth disease] for it? ! (Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease as it is in the United States)

If it’s a disease that infants under 5 years old are examined for, why did did the virus get in my body by mistake? Lol

According to the Mayo Clinic, it is a short term virus that resolves after 7-10 days, and symptoms can include fever, sore throat, and loss of appetite, in addition to ulcers, rashes and blisters around the mouth, hands, feet, legs and buttocks. It’s in no relation to foot-and-mouth disease. Typically it effects children 10 years or younger, but anyone can contract the virus. The virus can stay in someone’s body for several days or weeks, but the best way to prevent spreading it is to wash your hands and practice good hygiene.
