Hand Foot Mouth Disease?
Hi, I am a fifteen year old girl. Let me start off by saying, two days ago(Monday for me) I woke up with a headache, a sore throat, a fever of 101.6, I was very tired, and I seemed to ache everywhere. Needless to say, I didn't feel good that day. Yesterday(Tuesday for me) I still had a headache, and I had a hard time eating due to my sore throat, but my fever went down, same for my aches and pains. I decided to go outside, and get some fresh air, I played in the sticks a little, and I'm thinking I could've gotten into poison ivy yesterday, because I woke up this morning with intensely itchy hands, and I had red sores(spots) on my hands, but my throat is still sore. My mom thinks I have Hand Foot Mouth Disease, but that's kind of odd, I've already had it. Is this Poison Ivy or could it be Hand Foot Mouth Disease? Advice is much appreciated! Thank you.

Your mother is probably correct, though her diagnoses should be confirmed by a doctor. Make sure to wash your hands very well after going to the bathroom. Sing Mary had a little lamb as you scrub your hands with lots of soap and as hot water as you can stand.
The virus that causes this disease can stay in your body for months and comes out in your poop. This is why it is important to wash your hand thoroughly as I described after each visit to the bathroom.

Please go see a doctor. There are many illnesses that relate to the symptoms that you described and even if they go away after a couple of days, tell your doctors about them, they are the only ones that can know for sure.
Good luck ^-^ -talldivaofbeverlyhillz
