Not that long ago, both my kids had what I thought was a cold--scratchy voice, sore throat, green snotty nose. My son seemed to get it a little worse than my daughter, and had gunk coming out of his eyes, and a couple sores in his mouth. I took them both in, and the doctor just told me it was a virus--he didn't call it HFM, but I wonder if I just didn't recognize the virus's scientific name. Anyway, he said it would just clear up on it's own, and it did. My son had trouble eating too, so I gave him lots of smoothies. As far as you being pregnant, though, I would talk to your doctor. You might need to treat it differently.
