HFMD is usually not serious. Most people recover on their own in 7 to 10 days with minimal or no medical treatment. Serious complications of HFMD, such as neurologic or cardiovascular issues, rarely occur. These complications can include encephalitis, meningitis, flaccid paralysis, and myocarditis.
