I am so glad to hear that your child is fine, and would love to hear more about your story!
Can you tell us what the "other symptoms" include, as I think this is very important. Most of the parents (including myself) children only had the symptoms of a high fever and rash...so the "other symptoms" are crucial to know, to prevent all of us from running to the Cardiologist. Of course, we would run..not walk...to the Cardiologist if it were required, and also the Hand, Foot, Mouth disease is so common, it is very important to distinguish the three conditions. We want our kids to be diagnosed correctly, while balancing their health in other ways---by not being subjected to tests they do not need. What a difficult balance---not wanting your child to be mis-diagnosed, and also not wanting them to be in the hospital, under watch 24/7 for fear they may develop something!
