I am 19 years old and have developed coxsackie. I started to get the usual cold symptoms (fever, sore throat, runny nose) on the 5th. On the 8th I developed a wide spread of painful blisters in my mouth. There were so many on my tongue and throat and a few small ones on the inside of my cheeks and lips. I went to the er today and they gave me a steroid shot. Tomorrow I will start my perscription. I was wondering how long these blisters will last. I am in a lot of pain and can only eat jello. I'm weak from having not eaten a solid meal in four days. Is there any home remedies that will help speed up the healing process? Thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated/
